REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION ON PLAINTIFF'S MOTIONS TO DISMISS
[Docket Nos. 60, 67]
Pro se Plaintiff Marchelle Williams alleges that Defendant Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (the "MBTA") discriminated against him on the basis of a disability in violation of M.G.L. ch. 151B, and discharged him in violation of the Family Medical Leave Act, 29 U.S.C. § 2601 et seq. (the "FMLA"). Docket No. 1 at ¶¶ 10-17. The MBTA has filed counterclaims based on the breach of a settlement agreement that allegedly resolved Williams' claims in this case. Docket No. 49. Williams has moved to dismiss those counterclaims. Docket Nos. 60, 67. For the following reasons, I recommend that Judge Gorton deny Williams' motions.
Judge Gorton referred Williams' motions to dismiss to the undersigned on December 1, 2020 and December 29, 2020. Docket Nos. 61, 72. --------
After consideration of plaintiff's objections thereto (Docket No. 82), Report and Recommendation is accepted and adopted. Nathaniel M. Gorton, USDJ 02/22/21
