Guest danwintz Posted May 16, 2001 Share Posted May 16, 2001 I admit that I have not read the Supreme Court's decision to deny cert. in the Erie County case. However, I haven't been able to figure out why Erie County wasn't rendered moot by the Supreme Court's decision in Kimel v. Florida Board of Regents, 120 S. Ct. 631 (2000). Kimel affirmed an Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals decision finding that the State of Florida had immunity from suit by a group of university librarians claiming violation of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA). How is the Retirees Association able to able to maintain its ADEA action against Erie County? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
