Case No. 5:14-cv-02365-PSG

ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO 

DISMISS

(Re: Docket No. 11) 

 

Defendant John McHugh seeks to dismiss a complaint filed by Plaintiff Irfan Mahmood 

alleging discrimination and retaliation. Mahmood has not filed an opposition to the motion, nor 

does he seek to do so. In fact, he filed a statement of non-opposition asking the court to decide the 

motion on the papers.1

 Mahmood is represented by counsel. 

In the absence of any opposition, the court is persuaded that Mahmood’s discrimination 

claim is barred because he failed to exhaust administrative remedies as to that allegation before

filing a civil action in federal court.2

 Mahmood did satisfy his administrative remedy requirements 

as to his retaliation claim by filing a complaint with the EEOC, but before this suit, his 

discrimination claim had never seen the light of day.
