   Civil Rights: Jobs | Rhode Island

   Order

   TEXT ORDER re: 2 MOTION for Leave to Proceed in forma pauperis: Jechua Ureal Figueroa has filed, along with his Complaint, a Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis ("IFP") (ECF No. 2). The filing of that Motion creates an obligation on the part of the Court to determine whether the Complaint states a plausible federal claim for relief. Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 667 (2009) (plausible claim standard); 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii) (screening required). A retaliation claim under Title VII require three elements: that the plaintiff engaged in a protected activity, that he suffered an adverse employment action, and that the adverse action was "causally linked to [his] protected activity." Dixon v. Intl Bhd. Of Police Officers, 504 F.3d 73, 81 (1st Cir. 2007). The evidence of causation is weak, but the Assistant Manager's alleged statement is sufficient to withstand screening. The plaintiff's narrative, however, does not demonstrate the showing of a sufficiently adverse and "material change in the conditions of employment." Stratton v. Bentley University, 113 F.4th 25, 41-42 (1st Cir. 2024). He alleges he was "treated differently" but did not elaborate. Because the plaintiff is proceeding pro se and therefore deserves some leniency in the application of pleading standards, he is given 30 days in which to file an Amended Complaint to cure this defect. If he fails to file an Amended Complaint on or before 8/31/2026, or if an Amended Complaint does not cure the deficiency, the case will be DISMISSED. So Ordered by Chief Judge John J. McConnell, Jr. on 8/3/2026. (Jackson, Ryan)
