8 8 8 pgs order Order on Motion to Dismiss Tue 07/18 12:20 PM
ORDER - Robert W. Biggers. Jr., ("Biggers") alleges that his former employer, the Town of Farmville, (the "Town"), failed to accommodate and wrongfully terminated him due to his disability. Biggers asserts claims under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 ("ADA") and the Virginia Human Rights Act ("VHRA"). The Town moves to dismiss Count II, (the "VHRA claim"), pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6), asserting that Biggers has failed to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. The Town asserts its sovereign immunity and argues that Biggers did not exhaust his administrative remedies. Because sovereign immunity bars the VHRA claim, the Court will grant the Town's motion to dismiss Count II. SEE ORDER FOR DETAILS. Signed by District Judge John A. Gibney, Jr. on 7/18/2023. (smej, )
