The defendants filed motions for summary judgment on the remaining claims. The court found that the Title VII claims of Linda Scarborough, Gracie Myrick, and Jo Ellen Spurgeon were barred by the statute of limitations, as they failed to file timely administrative charges and could not invoke the single-filing rule. For Charlotte Roberson, Tina Lowery, and Cathy Walker, the court concluded that they failed to establish a genuine issue of material fact regarding sufficiently severe or pervasive harassment, employer liability, or adverse employment action for retaliation claims.
