Text: 45 Applying the framework set forth in Morgan to Mr. Lucas' claims, we believe that at least some of the allegedly discriminatory acts identified by Mr. Lucas are discrete acts, and therefore claims based on these acts cannot be rendered timely by application of the continuing violation doctrine. For instance, Mr. Lucas' claim that, in 1997, Blatz sent him home without pay in retaliation for filing his internal grievance is a discrete act. Because it occurred prior to April 1, 2000, 300 days prior to Mr. Lucas' filing, it is not actionable. Other discrete acts that were actionable standing alone were the CTA's decision to suspend Mr. Lucas for one day after he refused Escorcia's order to enter the track and his twenty-two-day suspension in January 2001. These discrete acts fell within the limitations period and are addressed separately below. 46
