Description
Plaintiff-appellant Eva Vielma (Vielma) brought this action against her employer, defendant-appellee Eureka Company (Eureka), alleging Texas law claims of age and disability discrimination. The district court found that Vielmas state claims were time-barred because she had not filed suit in state court within sixty days of receiving her "right to sue" letter from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Accordingly, the district court granted summary judgment in favor of Eureka. The district court also denied her motions to reconsider and to amend her complaint to add federal discrimination claims. Vielma now appeals the grant of summary judgment on her state claims, as well as the denial of her motion to amend. We hold that Vielmas state claims were not time-barred, and accordingly reverse the grant of summary judgment regarding those claims and remand them. We affirm, however, the denial of Vielmas motion to amend.
