JUDGMENT

This case was considered on the record from the United States District Court for the District of Columbia and on the briefs and arguments of the parties. It is

ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the judgment of the District Court granting summary judgment to defendants is affirmed.

Plaintiffs Glenn and Dickens brought a discrimination suit. But Glenn’s disparate treatment sex discrimination and retaliation claims are time-barred, as the District Court correctly concluded. As to plaintiffs’ hostile work environment claims, plaintiffs have not shown that any “act contributing to the claim” occurred within the relevant filing period. Nat'l R.R. Passenger Corp. v. Morgan, 536 U.S. 101, 117, 122 S.Ct. 2061, 153 L.Ed.2d 106 (2002).

Plaintiffs attempt to circumvent the time bar by raising a continuing violation claim. But that theory is foreclosed by Morgan, which establishes that for statute-of-limitations purposes there are only two kinds of Title VII violations: “discrete acts” and “hostile work environments.” See 536 U.S. at 114-15, 122 S.Ct. 2061. To be actionable, a discrete act — an event that “takes place at a particular point in time” — must occur within the filing period, while a hostile work environment must extend into the filing period. Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., 550 U.S. 618, 127 S.Ct. 2162, 2169, 167 L.Ed.2d 982 (2007) (citing Morgan, 536 U.S. at 110-11, 122 S.Ct. 2061). Plaintiffs’ allegations based on a continuing violation theory fail to meet these requirements and therefore are unavailing.

Plaintiffs also invoke principles of constructive discharge, but constructive discharge is not a cause of action in its own right. “Constructive discharge doctrines simply extend liability to employers who indirectly effect a discharge that would have been forbidden by statute if done directly.” Simpson v. Fed. Mine Safety & Health Review Comm’n, 842 F.2d 453, 461 (D.C.Cir. 1988); see also Pa. State Police v. Suders, 542 U.S. 129, 141-43, 124 S.Ct. 2342, 159 L.Ed.2d 204 (2004). Plaintiffs have failed to produce sufficient evidence to support a constructive discharge theory.

Plaintiffs separately argue that their constructive discharge claim should be understood as a claim of fraud or negligent misrepresentation. But this argument strays far beyond the complaint.
