Description
June R. Williams was terminated on February 4, 1998, after four years of working as a reference attorney for the Westlaw division of West Group. Following her termination, Williams lodged a complaint against Westlaw with the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, alleging that she was discriminated against on the basis of her race, sex, religion, and disability. Williamss complaint was referred to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), which mailed a right-to-sue letter to her on-file address on June 17, 1999. Williams filed suit against West Publishing Corporation, The Thomson Corporation, several of Thomsons subsidiaries, and various West employees on October 21, 1999, in the United States District Court for the District of Ohio, advancing claims under Title VII, 42 U.S.C. § 1981, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Equal Pay Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Minnesota Whistleblowers Act, and the Family Medical Leave Act. The district court in Ohio granted the defendants motion to transfer the case to the District of Minnesota. After the case was transferred, the defendants moved for summary judgment, urging the district court to dismiss several of the claims as time-barred and to dismiss the remaining claims on the merits. The court granted the motion and Williams now appeals. After carefully reviewing the record before us, see McKay v. United States Dept of Transp., 340 F.3d 695, 697 (8th Cir. 2003) (applying de novo review to an appeal from a grant of summary judgment), we affirm.
