MEMORANDUM ORDER

DEBORAH A. ROBINSON, Magistrate Judge.

Defendant's motion to dismiss is pending for determination by this court.1 Defendant moves for dismissal on two grounds. As to the first — failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure — Defendant merely recites the rule, see Memorandum of Points and Authorities in Support of Defendant's Motion to Dismiss, or in the Alternative, for Summary Judgment at 2-3, and offers no argument in support of the motion. Accordingly, the court has no alternative other than to deny the motion to dismiss pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6).2

As to the second ground — lack of subject matter jurisdiction pursuant to Rule 12(b)(1) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, by virtue of Plaintiff's failure to exhaust her administrative remedies — the court has reviewed Plaintiff's administrative complaint, filed by Plaintiff as an exhibit to the complaint which she filed in this action. See Complaint (Document No. 1), Ex. 2. In her administrative complaint, Plaintiff alleged discrimination based on her age, sex and national origin, as well as reprisal for prior EEO activity. The claims cognizable under Title VII which were the subject of the administrative complaint are (1) "Reprisal (prior EEO Activity)"; (2) "Demotion to Inpatient Pharmacy"; (3) "Failure to provide Performance Evaluation[,]" and (4) "Suspension (1/3/11-1/9/11) — Reprisal[.]"

In this action, Plaintiff alleges that "within the 29 years of employment [she] applied for positions listed within the pharmacy department but did not receive the positions applied for or an explanation for not being selected." Amended Complaint (Document No. 35), ¶ 25. However, as Defendant aptly observes, Plaintiff did not allege a non-promotion claim in her administrative complaint.3 Thus, for the reasons offered by Defendant, Defendant's motion to dismiss as to Plaintiff's non-promotion claim must be granted.

Defendant further observes that the 10-day suspension which is the subject of Plaintiff's Amended Complaint, see Document No. 35 at ¶ 49, was not the subject of Plaintiff's administrative complaint of discrimination. However, this court observes that Plaintiff did include the five-day suspension in the administrative complaint, and now alleges that the 10-day suspension was a further act of retaliation. Thus, the court finds that in this circumstance, the failure to file a second administrative complaint does not warrant dismissal for failure to exhaust.4

Finally, as common law torts are not cognizable under Title VII, Defendant's motion to dismiss must be granted, for the reasons offered by Defendant, as to Plaintiff's claims of defamation (Count II) and fraud (Count V).

It is, therefore, this 4th day of December, 2015,

ORDERED that Defendant's motion to dismiss pursuant to Rule 12(b)(1) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure is GRANTED IN PART, and that Plaintiff's non-promotion claim, and defamation and fraud claims, are dismissed; and it is

FURTHER ORDERED that in all other respects, Defendant's motion to dismiss is DENIED.
