This amended opinion addresses motions for partial summary judgment filed by Defendant Crown Central Petroleum, Inc., against a group of plaintiffs whose claims remained after class certification was denied. The court dismissed all hostile work environment claims for plaintiffs Karen Sloan, Phyllis Miller, John Grant, John McDowell, and Susan Robertson, primarily due to statute of limitations or insufficient evidence of actionable harassment within the limitations period. Catherine McAfee's failure to promote claim was also dismissed due to being time-barred. John Grant and John McDowell's failure to promote claims were dismissed for lack of prima facie evidence or failure to show pretext. Susan Robertson's failure to promote claims were dismissed due to lack of qualifications and being time-barred. However, the court denied summary judgment on Linda K. Brown's salary grade claim, finding a genuine issue of material fact regarding Crown's non-discriminatory reasons for salary variations between superintendents.
