Case Explained: KUO V. NGY GROUP, INC., ET AL.

Court: United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit Filed: 2026-07-30 Docket: 2:23-cv-03806-SVW-MRW The ninth-circuit affirmed the district court’s dismissal of Mei-Miao Kuo’s employment action alleging hostile work environment, discrimination, and retaliation. The court held that the district court properly dismissed the claims as time-barred because Kuo failed to file a charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission within 300 days of the alleged unlawful practices, nor did she allege facts sufficient to establish equitable tolling or equitable estoppel under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. The court further determined that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Kuo further leave to amend. As a practical consequence, the judgment of the district court stands, all pending motions are denied, and the case is closed without oral argument.
