Gheith v. Harvey
Gheith v. Harvey
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Nabil Gheith, a former professor at the Defense Language Institute, appeals pro se from the district court’s summary judgment dismissing his employment discrimination action under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act for failure to exhaust his administrative remedies. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. After de novo review, Johnson v. Henderson, 314 F.3d 409, 413-14 (9th Cir. 2002), we affirm.
The district court properly granted summary judgment because it is undisputed that Gheith neither appealed the Army’s final agency decision within 30 days nor filed an action in district court within 90 days. See 29 C.F.R. § 1614.402 (specifying time limits for appeals to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission); 29 C.F.R. § 1614.407 (specifying time limits for filing civil action).
Because Gheith failed to demonstrate mental or physical incapacity or other exceptional circumstances, the district court properly determined that he was not entitled to equitable tolling. See Grant v. McDonnell Douglas Corp., 163 F.3d 1136,
AFFIRMED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
