Laneisha Davis appealed a summary judgment granted in favor of Autonation USA Corporation and its affiliates in an employment discrimination suit. Davis alleged race and gender discrimination, retaliation, negligent hiring, negligent supervision, negligent retention, and intentional infliction of emotional distress stemming from her transfer and eventual resignation due to perceived unfair treatment and reduced pay after working as a finance manager. The trial court granted summary judgment for the appellees, stating Davis failed to file her charge of discrimination within the 180-day statutory limit. Davis argued for a continuing violation theory and equitable tolling, but the court found her claims were time-barred as she was aware of the alleged discriminatory acts by November 9, 2001, at the latest. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's decision, concluding it lacked jurisdiction due to the untimely complaint.
