Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District / Jun 17, 2021
FRED KINGORI, Appellant vs. MHM SUPPORT SERVICES, d/b/a Mercy Care Management, Respondent
Fred Kingori appealed the trial court's grant of summary judgment in favor of MHM Support Services d/b/a Mercy Care Management. Kingori, a former employee, sued Mercy for race and national origin discrimination after he was not selected for a promotion. The trial court found Kingori's claims were time-barred by the statute of limitations. The appellate court affirmed, holding that the discrimination claim accrued on August 9, 2016, when Kingori was notified of the adverse employment decision, making his subsequent petition untimely under section 213.111.1, RSMo.
