United States Fourth Circuit

Terminated employee's retaliation claim was improperly dismissed by the district court for failure to exhaust administrative remedies. Plaintiff is excused from exhausting her retaliation claim, which alleges ongoing retaliation for the filing of her previous EEOC claim, because the alleged retaliatory termination was merely the predictable culmination of the employer's alleged retaliatory conduct.
