(Signature) prrbeoydig K- March 7 , 2025 (Print Name) Bhupendra K Shah Plaintiff's Rule 60(b) Motion is denied. The basis for the motion is a purported change in the law from when Judge Brieant granted summary judgment in favor of Defendants in 2006. (Dkt. No. 32.). The basis for the Motion, which Defendants properly note should be construed as being governed by Rule 60(b)(6), is the Supreme Court’s decision in Muldrow v. City of St. Louis, Missouri, in which the Court held that, “{a]ithough an employee must show some harm from a forced transfer to prevail in a Title VII suit, she need not show that the injury satisfies a significance test.” 601 U.S. 346, 350 (2024).

As Defendants note, “[ijntervening developments in the law by themselves rarely constitute the extraordinary circumstances required for relief under Rule 60(b)(6).” Agostini v. Fetton, 521 U.S. 203, 239 (1997). And so it is here. Summary judgment was granted in this case, not because Pailintiff failed to establish a harm sufficient to support his discrimination claim as it related to Plaintiff's 2002 transfer, but because he failed to establish either that he applied for a promotion or that the transfer was motivated by discrimination. (Dkt. 45-1 at 33.). Moreover, to the extent Plaintiff seeks to shoe-horn a 1997 transfer, that claim would be untimely for the reasons given in the Report and Recommendation adopted by Judge Brieant. (Dkt. 45-1 at 2-22.).

Therefore, there is no reason to doubt the viability of 2006 judgment in the wake of the Muldrow decision. □ ee p 6/18/25
