Like Judge Motz, I join Judge Gilman’s conclusion that the
conspiracy claim was properly dismissed because an agree-
ment was not sufficiently alleged. I also join Judge Gilman’s
conclusion that the retaliation claim was properly dismissed
because Virginia Commonwealth University’s ("VCU")
alleged promise to provide transportation was merely gratu-
itous. However, I disagree with Judge Gilman’s and Judge
Motz’s conclusion that A Society Without A Name’s
("ASWAN") claims under the Fair Housing Act ("FHA"),
Americans With Disabilities Act ("ADA"), Equal Protection
Clause, and 42 U.S.C. § 1983 accrued when the Conrad Cen-
ter opened and that subsequent acts alleged in the Second
Amended Complaint do not constitute continuing violations.1
Because I conclude that ASWAN plausibly alleged continu-
ing violations against Homeward, VCU, and the City of Rich-
mond, I must respectfully dissent in part.
