United States First Circuit
Gonzalez-Figueroa v. J.C. Penney Puerto Rico, Inc., 08-1032
In an employment discrimination action, district court judgment is affirmed where the court properly dismissed the age-discrimination relatives' claims as time-barred, as the limitations period began to run when the relatives learned of the principal plaintiff's demotion and continued to run without interruption despite the pendency of that plaintiff's discrimination claim before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The district court erred in dismissing the plaintiff's son's claim as untimely, as he is a minor and the action is tolled until he reaches the age of majority.
