Federal Court Holds That Plaintiff Asserting Claims of Discrimination Who Had Filed for Bankruptcy Did Not Have Standing to Sue

A federal Court in the District of Columbia, in Marshall v. Honeywell Technology Solutions, Inc., dismissed a Plaintiff's discrimination lawsuit for lack of standing. The Plaintiff had filed for bankruptcy prior to filing the lawsuit and concluded that the bankruptcy trustee, not the Plaintiff, had standing to bring a lawsuit for discrimination. A copy of the decision can be read here.
