United States Third Circuit

Dismissal of a Title VII action is affirmed on the merits, where the court properly refused to aggregate the number of employees between the defendant and a related entity in order to reach the 15-employee minimum required for application of Title VII, holding that the 15-employee requirement is a substantive rather than jurisdictional requirement.
