Description
The district court dismissed appellant Emma Jacksons action against appellees (Polaroid Corp., several of its employees, the Cambridge Human Rights Commission, and two of its agents) for failure to file a complaint which complied with Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(a) (requiring a "short and plain statement" of a claim). Specifically, the complaint appellant served on appellees (an amended complaint) consisted of 54 single-spaced typewritten pages and 141 paragraphs. The district court did not dismiss this complaint outright, however; rather, it entered an order giving appellant a deadline by which to file a substitute complaint that complied with Rule 8(a).
