Zemaitiene v. Corporation of the Presiding Bishop of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

Trial Court Opinion

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF UTAH

KRISTINA ZEMAITIENE, an individual,

Plaintiff, ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION v.

CORPORATION OF THE PRESIDING BISHOP OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS Case No. 2:16-cv-1271 CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS, a Utah corporation doing business as Chief Judge Robert J. Shelby DESERET INDUSTRIES; and MELANIE PERRY, an individual; Magistrate Judge Evelyn J. Furse

Defendants.

The undersigned referred this case to Magistrate Judge Evelyn J. Furse pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 636

(b)(1)(B).1 On June 14, 2019, Judge Furse issued a Report and Recommendation2 concerning Plaintiff Kristina Zemaitiene’s Motion for Leave to File a Second Amended Complaint.3 Judge Furse recommends the court deny Plaintiff’s Motion for two reasons.4 First, Judge Furse recommends this court find Plaintiff’s “proposed constructive discharge claim futile because she failed to timely exhaust her administrative remedies with respect to the claim.”5 Second, Judge Furse recommends this court find Plaintiff’s “request to

1 Dkt. 4. 2 Dkt. 63. 3 Dkt. 40. 4 See Dkt. 63. 5

Id. at 14

. include additional supplemental facts underlying her gender discrimination claim as untimely because she knew or reasonably should have known of the facts at the commencement of this action nearly three years ago and did not seek to include the facts when granted leave to amend her Complaint.’”® Neither party objects to Judge Furse’s Report and Recommendation, so the court reviews the Report and Recommendation for clear error.’

Having carefully considered Judge Furse’s Report and Recommendation, the court finds no clear error. The court therefore ADOPTS Judge Furse’s Report and Recommendation.® Plaintiffs Motion for Leave to File a Second Amended Complaint? is DENIED.

SO ORDERED this 15th day of July, 2019.
