Description
JenÉ Williams appeals from a summary judgment on her claims for handicap discrimination and racial discrimination against appellee, Southeast Florida Cable, Inc., her former employer. She also appeals from the dismissal with prejudice of her claim for intentional infliction of emotional distress. On August 14, 1995 and on October 13, 1995, appellant filed administrative complaints for discrimination with the Florida Commission on Human Relations (FCHR) pursuant to section 760.11(1), Florida Statutes (1995). On March 5, 1997, appellant, having received no determination from the FCHR, filed a civil complaint in the Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County. On July 30, 1997, appellant filed an amended complaint in which she alleged claims for employment discrimination because of handicap, in violation of sections 760.01 through 760.11 Florida Statutes (1995), the Florida Civil Rights Act of 1992 (Count I), and discrimination based on race, also in violation of the Florida Civil Rights Act (Count II). In Count III, appellant sought damages for intentional infliction of emotional distress. On March 10, 1998, the trial court granted appellee's motion for partial summary judgment on appellant's claims for discrimination, concluding that the statutory discrimination claims were time barred under this court's holding in Milano v Moldmaster, Inc., 703 So. 2d 1093 (Fla. 4th DCA 1997). 1 On March 20, 1998, appellant moved to amend her complaint to add federal claims under 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq. (Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended [""Title VII""]), 42 U.S.C. § 12201 et seq. (the Americans with Disability Act of 1990, as amended [""The ADA""]), and 42 U.S.C. § 1981. The trial court denied the motion to amend. On December 3, 1998, the trial court granted appellee's motion to dismiss appellant's claim for intentional infliction of emotional distress.
