Description
Plaintiff, Sharon Puckett, appeals from the district court's grant of summary judgment to defendant, Tennessee Eastman Company, in this action involving allegations of sexual harassment. Puckett asserted several different claims in her complaint, including claims under the Tennessee Anti-Discrimination Act, Tenn.Code Ann. § 4-21-101 et seq., Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Organized Crime Control Act of 1970. On appeal, Puckett argues that the district court erred in determining that (1) her claim under the state act is barred as untimely; (2) receipt of a right-to-sue letter is a jurisdictional prerequisite to a Title VII action; and (3) her civil RICO claim should be dismissed since separate and distinct entities serving as the "person" and the "enterprise" had not been identified, and obstruction of a state administrative proceeding will not suffice to establish a "pattern of racketeering activity." We reject Puckett's arguments and affirm the district court's decision.
