The Nevada Gaming Control Board has filed a motion in U.S. District Court in Las Vegas to dismiss a racial discrimination lawsuit brought in September by a former Control Board department head.
The Nevada Attorney General’s office, representing the Control Board, said a complaint brought by Jaime Black is baseless and asked the court to dismiss it.
“Despite the redundancy and voluminosity of her assertions, all of Black’s retaliation claims fail to state a plausible claim because the complaint does not adequately allege that she (Control Board Member Brittnie Watkins) engaged in any action that was protected conduct under Title VII (of the Civil Rights Act),” the motion to dismiss says.
