Description
Marshall Stewart was an industrial relations representative at RCAs plant in Marion, Indiana, until he was laid off on November 30, 1982. He filed this suit on October 16, 1984, maintaining that RCA discriminated against him on account of race, in violation of 42 U.S.C. ร§ 1981. RCA filed affidavits of Stewarts supervisor and co-workers asserting that RCA had notified Stewart in August 1982 of the impending layoff. Because the date of notice rather than the date of the layoff is the important one for purposes of the statute of limitations, see Chardon v. Fernandez, 454 U.S. 6, 70 L. Ed. 2d 6, 102 S. Ct. 28 (1981); Delaware State College v. Ricks, 449 U.S. 250, 66 L. Ed. 2d 431, 101 S. Ct. 498 (1980), and because a plaintiff has two years to file suite in Indiana under ร§ 1981, Movement for Opportunity v. General Motors Corp., 622 F.2d 1235, 1238 (7th Cir. 1980), RCA insisted that Stewart had filed too late.
