McClendon claimed the MCHR unlawfully delayed issuing a right-to-sue notice for her prior discrimination charge against her former employer. The trial court granted the MCHR's motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim. The appellate court affirmed, holding that McClendon failed to allege facts showing the MCHR provided substantial encouragement for aiding/abetting or that its delay constituted an actionable adverse impact for retaliation, as her ability to pursue her original claims was ultimately preserved.","primaryTopic":"employment-law","topicSlugs":["employment-law","administrative-law","civil-procedure","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=220037","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/mary-mcclendon-v-missouri-commission-on-human-rights-d86885","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"employment","label":"Employment Law","href":"/practice-areas/employment","score":38,"source":"tag","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/employment"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
