Willie Good, I v. Washington, D.C. Joint Plumbing Apprenticeship Committee
March 17, 2026·25-2233·Per Curiam·By Aisha Johnson
The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit affirmed a district court ruling dismissing a plaintiff's claims of race discrimination and retaliation. The appellate court found no reversible error in the lower court's decision to grant the defendant's motion to dismiss.
Willie Good, I, filed a pro se lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland alleging race discrimination and retaliation under Section nineteen eighty-one of the United States Code. The district court granted the defendant’s motion to dismiss these claims and subsequently denied Good’s motion to alter or amend the judgment.
The court’s reasoning
The court reviewed the record and determined that the district court’s orders contained no reversible error. The opinion is unpublished and does not provide detailed legal analysis beyond this conclusion.
What it means going forward
The dismissal of the claims stands, leaving the plaintiff without a judicial remedy for the alleged discrimination and retaliation in the apprenticeship committee.
