"The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals at Richmond, Virginia, dismissed Sarah Spitalnick's appeal with prejudice Nov. 14. The stipulation of dismissal, docketed Nov. 13, did not indicate whether a settlement had been reached. Law 360 covered the stipulation, reached before appeals briefs were filed in the case. Spitalnick had alleged that she was deterred from applying for a summer-associate diversity fellowship at King & Spalding in February 2021 because of a job ad that restricted applicants."
"Spitalnick alleged violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Section 1981 of the Civil Rights Act of 1866. U.S. District Judge James K. Bredar of the District of Maryland tossed Spitalnick's case in February because of a "paucity of allegations" that she was ready and able to apply for the fellowship. The ABA Journal sought comment from Spitalnick's lawyer, Eden P. Quainton of Quainton Law, and one of the lawyers for King & Spalding, Proskauer Rose partner Evandro C. Gigante."
Sarah Spitalnick filed claims alleging she was deterred from applying for a King & Spalding summer-associate diversity fellowship because a job ad limited candidates to ethnically or culturally diverse backgrounds or LGBT individuals. She alleged violations of Title VII and Section 1981. A stipulation of dismissal was docketed Nov. 13, and the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed her appeal with prejudice on Nov. 14. The district court had earlier dismissed the case for a paucity of allegations that she was ready and able to apply. Requests for comment from counsel and the firm were not immediately answered.
