Opinion

5:07-CV-275 (WDO).

September 12, 2007


ORDER


Plaintiff brought this suit alleging employment discrimination, and named as defendants her former employer and two individuals who worked in the same office — Tammy Bell and Danielle Young. Defendants have filed a motion to dismiss Bell and Young, arguing they are not proper parties in this Title VII suit. Plaintiff has not responded to the motion. Pursuant to Busby v. City of Orlando, individual capacity suits under Title VII are inappropriate because the "relief granted under Title VII is against the employer, not individual employees whose actions would constitute a violation of the Act." Busby v. City of Orlando, 931 F.2d 764, 772 (11th Cir. 1991). Defendants Bell and Young are therefore DISMISSED.

SO ORDERED.
