These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he record shows that plaintiff consulted one of his present attorneys regarding his termination by defendant in the summer of 1974, well within the three-year and 300-day ADEA limitations periods following his termination. The courts have repeatedly held that equitable tolling is inappropriate when the plaintiff has consulted counsel during the statutory limitation period. Keyse v. California Texas Oil Corp., 590 F.2d 45, 47 (2d Cir.1978) (per curiam); Smith v. American President Lines, Ltd., 571 F.2d 102, 109-10 (2d Cir.1978); Edwards v. Kaiser Aluminum & Chemical Sales, Inc., 515 F.2d 1195 , 1200 n. 8 (5th Cir.1975). Once a claimant consults an attorney, he has “access to a means of acquiring knowledge of his rights and responsibilities,” Smith v. American President Lines, Ltd., supra at 109; “the very purpose of consulting an attorney is to ascertain what legal redress arises out of a factual situation encompassing a supposed wrong,” Edwards v. Kaiser Aluminum & Chemical Sales, Inc., supra.”
