By Kyla Asbury Kanawha Bureau wvrecord.com Charleston - A Braxton County man is suing the West Virginia Office of Technology after he claims he was discriminated against because of his age, race and gender. Ali R. Dabiri is an employee of the state and is employed as a Database Administrator II (DBA II), according to a complaint filed Dec. 1 in Kanawha Circuit Court.

Dabiri is seeking injunctive relief, including correction of his pay rate. He is being represented by Walt Auvil. The case has been assigned to Circuit Judge Jennifer Bailey.
