Discrete actions are clearly defiend events that have a definite beginning and, in most cases, a definite conclsusion. See Ornelas v. Department of Justice, EEOC Appeal no. 01995301 (September 26, 2002). Examples include terminations, non-selections, failures to promote, transfer denials, suspensions, leave restrictions, officials reprimands, etc.
The Chateau Marmont in Hollywood has a similar connection to a celebrity death that it will never be able to shake -- and perhaps doesn't want to. In 1982, Saturday Night Live's John Belushi died of a drug overdose there at the age of 33.
Family[edit] Marmont had married, in 1798, Hortense de Perregaux, the daughter of Jean-FrÃ©dÃ©ric Perregaux, a Swiss (and Protestant) banker, later a founder and regent of the Banque de France, and AdÃ©laÃ¯de de PraÃ«l de Surville, herself the natural daughter of the banker to the court of Louis XV, Nicolas Beaujon.
