ALITO, J., dissenting

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES

KALAMAZOO COUNTY ROAD COMMISSION, ET AL.,

PETITIONERS v.ROBERT DELEON, ET UX.

ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED

STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SIXTH CIRCUIT

No. 131516 Decided January 12, 2015

The petition for a writ of certiorari is denied.

JUSTICEALITO, dissenting from denial of certiorari.

Certiorari is appropriate when a United States court ofappeals . . . has so far departed from the accepted and

usual course of judicial proceedings . . . as to call for an

exercise of this Courts supervisory power. Supreme

Court Rule 10(a). The decision of the Sixth Circuit in this

caseholding that respondent suffered an adverse em-

ployment action when his employer transferred him to a

position for which he had appliedqualifies for review

under that standard. Indeed, the holding of the court

below is so clearly wrong that summary reversal is war-

ranted. The strangeness of the Court of Appeals holding

may lead this Court to believe that the holding is unlikelyto figure in future cases, but the decision, if left undis-

turbed, will stand as a binding precedent within the Sixth

Circuit. I would grant review and correct the Sixth Cir-

cuits obvious error.

An old maxim warns: Be careful what you wish for; you

might receive it. In the Sixth Circuit, however, employees

need not be careful what they ask for because, if their

request is granted and they encounter buyers regret, they

can sue.

After working at the Kalamazoo County Road Commis-

sion (Commission) for 25 years, respondent Robert Deleon

applied for a position as an equipment and facilities super-intendent. The job posting specified that the position


28/31

2 KALAMAZOO COUNTY ROAD COMMN v.DELEON


required work primarily in office conditions and in a

garage where there is exposure to loud noises and diesel

fumes. Record 465. Respondent discussed the position

with his supervisors and decided to interview for the job.

When the Commission selected another candidate, re-

spondent evinced displeasure and questioned a supervisor

about the reasons why he was not selected.

A few weeks later, the candidate who was initially

selected told supervisors that he was no longer interested

in the job, and the supervisors then transferred respond-

ent to the position.

Respondent worked in the new position from August2009 until May 2010, when he had a conflict with his

supervisor. Shortly thereafter, he took a medical leave

and never returned to work.

Respondent filed this lawsuit and alleged, as relevant

here, that the Commission had discriminated against him

on account of his race, national origin, and age, in viola-

tion of the Equal Protection Clause, Title VII of the Civil

Rights Act of 1964, and the Age Discrimination in Em-

ployment Act of 1967.1 The District Court, however,

granted the Commissions motion for summary judgment

because respondent could not show that he had sufferedan adverse employment action. Respondents transfer was

a lateral move that resulted in no diminution of salary,

benefits, prestige, or responsibility, and he had applied for

the position with full knowledge of what it entailed, in-

cluding exposure to diesel fumes. Furthermore, the Dis-

trict Court explained that [t]he record contains no evi-

dence that [respondent] ever declined, or attempted to

decline, the transfer . . . [or] ever protested or complained

about [it]. No. 1:11cv539 (WD Mich., Sept. 18, 2012),

pp. 1516. The Sixth Circuit reversed, holding that a

1 His wife, Mae Deleon, sued for lack of consortium and is also a re-

spondent here.


29/31

plaintiff s initial request for a transfer does not pre-

clud[e] him from a finding that he suffered a materially

adverse employment action when he later receives that

transfer. 739 F. 3d 914, 921 (2014).

Judge Sutton dissented. The dissent noted that re-

spondent applied for the transfer with full knowledge of

what it involved, including the presence of diesel fumes in

the workplace, ibid., and that respondent persisted in

seeking the job after he initially did not receive it, id.,at

922. The dissent rejected the majoritys suggestion that

the transfer was involuntary because respondent ad-

mitted that no one told him that he had to take the trans-fer and neither did he tell anyone that he did not want it.

Ibid. Because respondent gave the Commission no rea-

son to believe that he did not want the transfer and every

reason to believe that he did, the dissent concluded that

the Commission did not subject respondent to an adverse

employment action. Ibid.

The dissents commonsense conclusion was correct.

Under all of the antidiscrimination provisions upon which

respondent relies, he was required to show that he suf-

fered an adverse employment action. That concept means,

at a minimum, an injury or harm that a reasonableemployee would have found . . . materially adverse, see

Burlington N. & S. F. R. Co. v.White, 548 U. S. 53, 6768

(2006), and respondent did not meet that standard here.2

Respondent gave every indication that he wanted the

position to which he was transferred. He applied for it.

He spoke to his supervisors about it, and even when they

told him that some of his preferences would not be met

he would not receive an assistant, and he would continue

2Burlingtonconcerned the standard under Title VIIs antiretaliation

provision, 42 U. S. C. 2000e3, and that standard is broader than the

ordinary discrimination standard, 548 U. S., at 6465. But sincerespondent cannot satisfy the antiretaliation standard, it follows a

fortiorithat he cannot satisfy the discrimination standard as well.

to be part of the on-call duty rotationhe continued to

pursue his application. He interviewed for the position.

And then, when he initially did not receive the transfer he

sought, he followed up with his supervisors to ask why

they had not chosen him. It is of course conceivable that

respondent had changed his mind and no longer wanted

the job, but if by the time of his transfer that was so, he

gave no objective indication of that fact. Respondents

supervisors did not violate federal law by granting him

the transfer that he sought and that they had no reason to

believe he did not want.

Despite the fact that respondent willingly applied forand never objected to the transfer, the Sixth Circuit held

that receiving it was an adverse employment action. The

court gave three reasons for this surprising conclusion.

The court first relied on the fact that respondent ap-

plied for the position with the intention of commanding a

substantial raise and under the impression that employ-

ment benefits would inure to the benefit of his career.

739 F. 3d, at 920; see also id., at 916. But if respondent

was unwilling to accept the position without a raise, no

one knew it. In fact, when asked why he did not withdraw

his application when he learned that he would not receivea higher salary, respondent replied that he figured [he]

could make some changes over there. Record 521. In

other words, respondent voluntarily applied for the job

knowing full well what it didand did notinvolve.

Second, the court stressed that respondent was exposed

to toxic and hazardous diesel fumes on a daily basis, and

the court deemed this to be a sufficient indication that

the work environment was objectively intolerable and

therefore materially adverse to a reasonable person. 739

F. 3d, at 919920. But again, respondent applied for the

position even though he knew that the job required work-

ing in [a] garage where there is exposure to loud noisesand diesel fumes. Id., at 916. By applying for the posi-


31/31

5Cite as: 574 U. S. ____ (2015)


tion, respondent gave every indication that he was willing

to work in those conditions, and respondents supervisors

should not be faulted for taking him at his word. It is

important to keep in mind that respondent does not claim

that he suffered an adverse employment action based on

the denial of a request to be transferred back out of the

garage, and there is no evidence that he made such a

request. And although the Sixth Circuit characterized the

fumes in the garage as toxic, respondent is not asserting

a claim under a provision governing workplace safety.

Third, the court below said that respondents transfer

was involuntary because once he was transferred he hadto take the position. Id., at 916, n. 1. That fact does not

make the transfer adverse. Respondent applied for the

job, and he maintained his interest months into the hiring

process, when another candidate received the initial offer.

It is telling that respondent never withdrew his request

to be transferred and did not complain at the time he

received the transfer. Id., at 920.

The decision of the court below is unprecedented and

clearly contrary to the statutes on which respondents

claims are based. I would grant the petition for certiorari

and summarily reverse.
