Case Summary

Sean McClary, an African American male residing in Virginia, filed a discrimination lawsuit against Edward C. Frost, Administrator General of the Government Services Agency (GSA), on March 30, 2026, in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. McClary was hired by GSA in July 2024 as a GS-9 program analyst in a remote position under Schedule A (for persons with disabilities) due to his ADHD, which subjected him to a two-year probationary period instead of the standard one year. When the Trump Administration indicated it would eliminate remote work arrangements, McClary filed a formal request for reasonable accommodation for remote work in February 2025, but GSA allegedly refused to process his request. He was terminated on February 14, 2025, ostensibly for poor performance, briefly reinstated due to litigation but placed on administrative leave, then terminated again in August 2025. McClary brings claims under the Rehabilitation Act for failure to accommodate, retaliation, and disparate treatment, as well as a Fourteenth Amendment equal protection claim, seeking reinstatement, compensatory damages of not less than $1,000,000, and additional remedies.

This case is ongoing.
