MCNULTY, U.S.D.J.: Plaintiff Marisa Powell is an employee of Defendant
Verizon New Jersey ("Verizon").1 She has raised a variety of statutory
and common law claims against her employer and one of her coworkers,
Brendan McHale, relating to alleged discrimination on the basis of her
race. I dismissed most of her claims in my prior opinion in this case,
but declined to dismiss her Title VII hostile work environment claim
against Verizon and her intentional infliction of emotional distress
claim against McHale. (DE 43.) McHale has now been dismissed from the
case (DE 102) leaving only Powell's hostile work environment claim
against Verizon. Verizon now moves for summary judgment on that count,
arguing, among other things, that summary judgment must be granted in
its favor because Powell failed to exhaust administrative remedies. I
agree, and for the reasons set forth in more detail below, Verizon's
motion is GRANTED.
