Woldeab v. DeKalb County Board of Education

The Eleventh Circuit reversed the district court's grant of the Board's motion to dismiss plaintiff's action, which alleged national origin discrimination, retaliation, and harassment in violation of Title VII. The court remanded with instructions to allow plaintiff an opportunity to file an amended complaint, holding that the district court abused its discretion in dismissing plaintiff's case with prejudice because he never clearly indicated that he did not want to amend, and because a more carefully crafted complaint might be able to state a claim. In this case, the deficiencies in plaintiff's complaint might be curable and plaintiff could amend the complaint to name the proper defendant. View "Woldeab v.
