WESLEY BOOR, *

Plaintiff, *

v. * Civil Action No. RDB-25-1738

AMERICAN WOODMARK * CORPORATION, * Defendant. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * MEMORANDUM OPINION For a second time, Plaintiff Wesley Boor has filed suit in this Court against his former employer, Defendant American Woodmark Corporation.1 See generally (ECF No. 1). He claims that on December 20, 2023, while at work as an Assembly Plant Supervisor for his former employer, he suffered a medical episode related to his hyperthyroidism, type-2 diabetes, and attendant conditions of polyneuropathy and hyperglycemia. (ECF No. 1 ¶¶ 1, 2, 7–8.) Boor claims that American Woodmark did not render medical aid but instead made him take a drug test based on its “reasonable suspicion.” (Id. ¶¶ 10–11.) Boor underwent a drug test that same day. (Id. ¶ 11.) The test returned a positive result for tetrahydrocannabinol (“THC”).2 (Id. ¶ 13.) American Woodmark subsequently terminated Boor because of the positive drug test

1 As set forth, infra, at 4. See Boor v. Am. Woodmark Corp., No. RDB-24-2005, 2025 WL 948293, at *1 (D. Md. Mar. 28, 2025). This Court previously granted a motion to dismiss but did so without prejudice. Id. 2 THC is the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis. See Terence Ng et al., Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), National Library of Medicine, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bo oks/NBK563174/ (last visited Feb. 17, 2026). result. (Id. ¶ 14.) Boor does not contest the positive result for THC. (Id. ¶ 13.) Instead, in his four-count Complaint filed on June 2, 2025, he alleges that his termination violated the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, 42 U.S.C. §§ 12101–12117, in that it was disability

discrimination (Count One) (id. ¶¶ 26–31); retaliation (Count Two) (id. ¶¶ 32–34); and failure to accommodate (Count Three) (id. ¶¶ 35–37). Additionally—and unrelated to the December 20, 2023, diabetic episode and positive drug test—Boor brings a claim under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, 29 U.S.C. §§ 201–219, alleging that American Woodmark denied him a pay raise after a September 2021 promotion and at various times from March 2023 to December 2023 docked his pay without explanation (Count Four). (Id. ¶¶ 38–42.)

Now pending is American Woodmark’s Motion to Dismiss pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6). (ECF No. 7.) This Court has federal question jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1331 as Boor’s four-count Complaint arises under federal law. See Am. Well Works Co. v. Layne & Bowler Co., 241 U.S. 257, 260 (1916). The Court has reviewed the parties’ submissions; no hearing is necessary. See Loc. R. 105.6 (D. Md. 2025). For the following reasons, American Woodmark’s Motion to Dismiss (ECF No. 7) is GRANTED. Boor’s

Complaint (ECF No. 1) is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE. BACKGROUND I. Factual History At the motion-to-dismiss stage, the Court accepts all well-pleaded facts in the complaint as true and draws all reasonable inferences in the light most favorable to the plaintiff. Wikimedia Found. v. Nat’l Sec. Agency, 857 F.3d 193, 208 (4th Cir. 2017) (citing SD3,

LLC v. Black & Decker (U.S.) Inc., 801 F.3d 412, 422 (4th Cir. 2015)). Unless otherwise noted, all facts herein come from the Complaint (ECF No. 1) and are taken as true solely for the purposes of deciding this Motion (ECF No. 7). Plaintiff Wesley Boor, a Maryland resident, was employed by Defendant American

Woodmark Corporation as an Assembly Plant Supervisor at its Cumberland, Maryland plant from July 2018 through December 2023. (Id. ¶ 1.) American Woodmark is a cabinet manufacturer3 incorporated and with its principal place of business in Virginia. (Id. ¶ 2.) Boor alleges that he has been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and type-2 diabetes with attendant complications of polyneuropathy and hyperglycemia. (Id. ¶ 7.) He alleges that he is a qualified individual with a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (“ADA”), 42

U.S.C. §§ 12101–12117. (Id.) The Complaint states that on or about December 20, 2023, Boor “suffered a serious and life-threatening diabetic episode while at work.” (Id. ¶ 8.) Specifically, he alleges that he experienced “confusion, speech impairment, trembling, fatigue, dizziness, memory loss, breathing difficulty, disorientation, blurred vision, and drowsiness.” (Id. ¶ 9.) He claims that American Woodmark did not render medical aid but instead had him tested for drug use. (Id.

¶¶ 10–11.) That same day, American Woodmark transported Boor to a drug-testing facility. (Id. ¶ 11.) The test returned a positive result for THC. (Id. ¶ 13.) He alleges that, after the test, American Woodmark took him to his home and left him on the street in front of his home

Boor has previously sued American Woodmark in this Court. See Boor v. Am. Woodmark Corp., No. RDB-24-2005, 2025 WL 948293, at *1 (D. Md. Mar. 28, 2025). That case arose out of the same diabetic incident, drug test, and termination. Id. On June 10, 2024, Boor filed that two-count complaint alleging breach of contract and wrongful termination in the Circuit Court for Allegany County, Maryland. Id. at *2. He did not bring any federal claims. On July 11, 2024, American Woodmark removed the case to this Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1441 and 1446,

invoking this Court’s diversity jurisdiction of 28 U.S.C. § 1332. Id. American Woodmark moved to dismiss the case pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6). Id. This Court granted the motion to dismiss as to both counts, but did so without prejudice, recognizing that Boor needed to exhaust his administrative remedies under either the Americans with Disabilities Act or Maryland law. Id. at *6–7. On April 15, 2025, Boor filed a notice of voluntary dismissal. (RDB-24-2005 ECF No. 18.) The Court approved that notice by Marginal

Order on April 28, 2025. (RDB-24-2005 ECF No. 19.) Less than three months later, on June 2, 2025, Boor filed the instant four-count federal Complaint. (ECF No. 1.) As previously noted, this lawsuit stems from the same set of facts which gave rise to Boor’s previous two-count state law action. In Count One, Boor claims that
