United States Sixth Circuit

In an employment discrimination suit alleging that Sprint violated Title VII by denying her credit for time that she spent on maternity leave in 1976 when calculating her years of service at the time of her termination in 2000, summary judgment for Sprint is affirmed where: 1) the district court did not base its decision on controverted issues of fact; 2) under applicable Supreme Court precedent, plaintiff's claim was time-barred.
