                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                     for the Western District of Washington
                 Thomas S. Zilly, Senior District Judge, Presiding

                          Submitted December 9, 2014**
                              Seattle, Washington

Before: HAWKINS, McKEOWN, and TALLMAN, Circuit Judges.

       Beverly Mulvihill brings a gender and age discrimination action under Title

VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (“Title VII”), the Age Discrimination in

        *
             This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
        **
             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
Employment Act (“ADEA”), and the Washington Law Against Discrimination

(“WLAD”) against her employer, Pacific Maritime Association (“PMA”), and her

union, the International Longshore and Warehouse Union, Local 19 (“Union”).

We review both the district court’s grant of summary judgment and Federal Rule

of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) dismissal de novo. See Diaz v. Eagle Produce Ltd.

P’ship, 521 F.3d 1201, 1207 (9th Cir. 2008); Zimmerman v. City of Oakland, 255

F.3d 734, 737 (9th Cir. 2001). We affirm.

      The district court properly dismissed Mulvihill’s Title VII and ADEA claims

arising before November 2009 as time-barred because they fell outside of the 300-

day statutory period triggered by filing charges with the EEOC. See Nat’l R.R.

Passenger Corp. v. Morgan, 536 U.S. 101, 118 (2002). Similarly, the district court

properly denied Mulvihill’s WLAD claims that occurred prior to March 2007 as

falling outside of the state law statute of limitations period. See Antonius v. King

Cnty., 103 P.3d 729, 732 (Wash. 2004). The only incidents Mulvihill alleges that

could render her claims timely are altercations with co-workers (male and female)

on two different occasions—both of which relate to belittlement, harassment, and

discrimination due to her inferior job status, not due to her age or gender. Thus,

Mulvihill failed to establish a prima facie claim for a hostile work environment

case and all alleged acts outside of the statutory periods are time-barred.


                                          2
      The district court properly granted summary judgment in favor of PMA and

the Union because Mulvihill also failed to establish a genuine issue of material fact

with regard to the remaining timely alleged incidents of discrimination. Even if

Mulvihill’s flawed statistical analysis was sufficient to establish a prima facie case

of discrimination under Title VII and the ADEA, Mulvihill has failed to

demonstrate that PMA’s stated reason for her termination under its “three-strikes”

rule was pretextual and she has waived any claims against the Union. See

Schechner v. KPIX-TV, 686 F.3d 1018, 1025 (9th Cir. 2012); Aragon v. Republic

Silver State Disposal, Inc., 292 F.3d 654, 660-61 (9th Cir. 2002); cf. McDonnell

Douglas Corp. v. Green, 411 U.S. 792 (1973).

      Finally, although we have not yet addressed the “sex-plus-age” theory of

discrimination under Title VII that Mulvihill asserts, the district court did not err in

this regard where it expressly considered the combination of both Mulvihill’s age

and sex when reaching its holding.

      AFFIRMED.
