United States Second Circuit

In a discrimination action against defendant-employer, dismissal of plaintiff's state-law tort claims is affirmed, where: 1) as a matter of federal law, the filing of a charge of discrimination with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) does not toll the limitations period for state-law tort claims, even for those claims arising out of the same factual circumstances as the discrimination alleged in the EEOC charge; and thus, 2) the district court did not err in finding that plaintiff's state-law tort claims were time-barred.
