SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES 

KALAMAZOO COUNTY ROAD COMMISSION, ET AL., 

PETITIONERS v. ROBERT DELEON, ET UX. 

ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED 

STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SIXTH CIRCUIT
 

No. 13–1516 Decided January 12, 2015
 

The petition for a writ of certiorari is denied. 

JUSTICE ALITO, dissenting from denial of certiorari. 

Certiorari is appropriate when “a United States court of 

appeals . . . has so far departed from the accepted and 

usual course of judicial proceedings . . . as to call for an

exercise of this Court’s supervisory power.” Supreme 

Court Rule 10(a). The decision of the Sixth Circuit in this 

case—holding that respondent suffered an adverse employment action when his employer transferred him to a

position for which he had applied—qualifies for review

under that standard. Indeed, the holding of the court

below is so clearly wrong that summary reversal is warranted. The strangeness of the Court of Appeals’ holding 

may lead this Court to believe that the holding is unlikely 

to figure in future cases, but the decision, if left undisturbed, will stand as a binding precedent within the Sixth 

Circuit. I would grant review and correct the Sixth Circuit’s obvious error. 

An old maxim warns: Be careful what you wish for; you 

might receive it. In the Sixth Circuit, however, employees

need not be careful what they ask for because, if their 

request is granted and they encounter buyer’s regret, they 

can sue. 

After working at the Kalamazoo County Road Commission (Commission) for 25 years, respondent Robert Deleon 

applied for a position as an equipment and facilities superintendent. The job posting specified that the position 
 

2 KALAMAZOO COUNTY ROAD COMM’N v. DELEON 

ALITO, J., dissenting 

required work “primarily in office conditions and in a 

garage where there is exposure to loud noises and diesel

fumes.” Record 465. Respondent discussed the position

with his supervisors and decided to interview for the job. 

When the Commission selected another candidate, respondent evinced displeasure and questioned a supervisor 

about the reasons why he was not selected.

A few weeks later, the candidate who was initially 

selected told supervisors that he was no longer interested 

in the job, and the supervisors then transferred respondent to the position.

Respondent worked in the new position from August 

2009 until May 2010, when he had a conflict with his 

supervisor. Shortly thereafter, he took a medical leave

and never returned to work. 

Respondent filed this lawsuit and alleged, as relevant 

here, that the Commission had discriminated against him

on account of his race, national origin, and age, in violation of the Equal Protection Clause, Title VII of the Civil 

Rights Act of 1964, and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967.1 The District Court, however, 

granted the Commission’s motion for summary judgment 

because respondent could not show that he had suffered 

an adverse employment action. Respondent’s transfer was

a lateral move that resulted in no diminution of salary,

benefits, prestige, or responsibility, and he had applied for 

the position with full knowledge of what it entailed, including exposure to diesel fumes. Furthermore, the District Court explained that “[t]he record contains no evidence that [respondent] ever declined, or attempted to

decline, the transfer . . . [or] ever protested or complained 

about [it].” No. 1:11–cv–539 (WD Mich., Sept. 18, 2012),

pp. 15–16. The Sixth Circuit reversed, holding that a

ALITO, J., dissenting 

“plaintiff ’s initial request” for a transfer does not “preclud[e] him from a finding that he suffered a materially 

adverse employment action” when he later receives that 

transfer. 739 F. 3d 914, 921 (2014).

Judge Sutton dissented. The dissent noted that respondent applied for the transfer with full knowledge of 

what it involved, including the presence of diesel fumes in

the workplace, ibid., and that respondent persisted in

seeking the job after he initially did not receive it, id., at 

922. The dissent rejected the majority’s suggestion that

the transfer was “‘involuntary’” because respondent admitted that no one told him that he had to take the transfer and neither did he tell anyone that he did not want it. 

Ibid. Because respondent gave the Commission “no reason to believe that he did not want the transfer and every 

reason to believe that he did,” the dissent concluded that 

the Commission did not subject respondent to an adverse 

employment action. Ibid. 

The dissent’s commonsense conclusion was correct. 

Under all of the antidiscrimination provisions upon which 

respondent relies, he was required to show that he suffered an adverse employment action. That concept means,

at a minimum, “an injury or harm” that “a reasonable 

employee would have found . . . materially adverse,” see 

Burlington N. & S. F. R. Co. v. White, 548 U. S. 53, 67–68 

(2006), and respondent did not meet that standard here.2 

Respondent gave every indication that he wanted the

position to which he was transferred. He applied for it.

He spoke to his supervisors about it, and even when they

told him that some of his preferences would not be met—

he would not receive an assistant, and he would continue 

—————— 

2Burlington concerned the standard under Title VII’s antiretaliation 

provision, 42 U. S. C. §2000e–3, and that standard is broader than the 

ordinary discrimination standard, 548 U. S., at 64–65. But since 

respondent cannot satisfy the antiretaliation standard, it follows a 

fortiori that he cannot satisfy the discrimination standard as well.

ALITO, J., dissenting 

to be part of the on-call duty rotation—he continued to 

pursue his application. He interviewed for the position. 

And then, when he initially did not receive the transfer he

sought, he followed up with his supervisors to ask why

they had not chosen him. It is of course conceivable that 

respondent had changed his mind and no longer wanted 

the job, but if by the time of his transfer that was so, he

gave no objective indication of that fact. Respondent’s

supervisors did not violate federal law by granting him

the transfer that he sought and that they had no reason to

believe he did not want. 

Despite the fact that respondent willingly applied for 

and never objected to the transfer, the Sixth Circuit held

that receiving it was an adverse employment action. The 

court gave three reasons for this surprising conclusion. 

The court first relied on the fact that respondent “applied for the position with the intention of commanding a 

substantial raise and under the impression that employment benefits would inure to the benefit of his career.” 

739 F. 3d, at 920; see also id., at 916. But if respondent 

was unwilling to accept the position without a raise, no 

one knew it. In fact, when asked why he did not withdraw 

his application when he learned that he would not receive

a higher salary, respondent replied that he “figured [he] 

could make some changes over there.” Record 521. In 

other words, respondent voluntarily applied for the job

knowing full well what it did—and did not—involve. 

Second, the court stressed that respondent “was exposed 

to toxic and hazardous diesel fumes on a daily basis,” and 

the court deemed this to be a “sufficient indication that 

the work environment was objectively intolerable” and

therefore “materially adverse to a reasonable person.” 739 

F. 3d, at 919–920. But again, respondent applied for the 

position even though he knew that the job required working “‘in [a] garage where there is exposure to loud noises

and diesel fumes.’” Id., at 916. By applying for the posi-

ALITO, J., dissenting 

tion, respondent gave every indication that he was willing 

to work in those conditions, and respondent’s supervisors

should not be faulted for taking him at his word. It is 

important to keep in mind that respondent does not claim 

that he suffered an adverse employment action based on

the denial of a request to be transferred back out of the 

garage, and there is no evidence that he made such a 

request. And although the Sixth Circuit characterized the 

fumes in the garage as “toxic,” respondent is not asserting

a claim under a provision governing workplace safety. 

Third, the court below said that respondent’s transfer

was “involuntary” because once he was transferred he had 

to take the position. Id., at 916, n. 1. That fact does not 

make the transfer adverse. Respondent applied for the

job, and he maintained his interest months into the hiring

process, when another candidate received the initial offer. 

It is telling that respondent “never withdrew his request”

to be transferred “and did not complain at the time he 

received the transfer.” Id., at 920. 

The decision of the court below is unprecedented and

clearly contrary to the statutes on which respondent’s

claims are based. I would grant the petition for certiorari 

and summarily reverse.
