David McDowell v. Tankinetics, Inc.

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit
David McDowell v. Tankinetics, Inc., 505 F. App'x 613 (8th Cir. 2013)

David McDowell v. Tankinetics, Inc.

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

David McDowell appeals the district court’s 1 dismissal of his employment-discrimination action as untimely. We agree with the court that the complaint is untimely, because (1) it was filed well in excess of the applicable limitations period, see 29 U.S.C. § 626(e); Hallgren v. United States Dep’t of Energy, 331 F.3d 588, 589 (8th Cir. 2003) (failure to file suit within 90 days of receiving notice of final agency action renders employment-discrimination action untimely); (2) the prior state court suit, which was removed to federal court and dismissed without prejudice, does not save the instant suit from a dismissal for untimeliness, see Gerhardson v. Gopher News. Co., 698 F.3d 1052, 1056 (8th Cir. 2012); and (3) McDowell failed to demonstrate that he was entitled to equitable tolling, see Hallgren, 331 F.3d at 590.

The judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
