United States Ninth Circuit

Dismissal of plaintiff's employment discrimination claims as time-barred is affirmed in part as to dismissal of her Title VII and Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) claims, but reversed in part as to Equal Pay Act (EPA) claims which were timely because: 1) an amendment asserting the EPA claims "relates back" to a second complaint; and 2) equitable tolling applies, making the second complaint timely under the EPA statute of limitations. (Amended opinion)
