UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Larcenia Taylor brought this action against Penny Pritzker, Secretary of the United 

States Department of Commerce, for alleged racial discrimination based upon disparate treatment in 

violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for events related to Taylor’s employment in 

the Bakersfield Local Census Office from July 27, 2009 to April 30, 2010, and a subsequent job fair 

Taylor attended on August 12, 2010. Defendants seek summary judgment on the merits of Taylor’s 

Title VII discrimination claim as well as on a failure to exhaust administrative remedies. The Court 

now seeks clarification from Plaintiff Taylor on what precisely is pled in her First Amended 

Complaint. The Court orders Taylor to submit additional briefing on whether (a) the August 12, 

2010 job fair allegations are evidence to support her claim of disparate treatment for when she was 

employed by the Census Bureau or (b) the August 12, 2010 job fair allegations are a separate and 

distinct theory of liability under Title VII. The Court requests a brief and direct clarification from 

Taylor on this question.

LARCENIA TAYLOR,

Plaintiff,

PENNY PRITZKER, Secretary, United 

States Department of Commerce,
