In Weston v. Sears, (SD OH, April 5, 2022), an Ohio federal magistrate judge recommended that plaintiff, a Seventh Day Adventist, be permitted to proceed in forma pauperis with her Title VII claim for religious discrimination. She was fired for failing, until after the end of her Sabbath, to return multiple phone calls from her manager. However plaintiff is required to exhaust her administrative remedies by filing charges with the EEOC or her state agency.
