refusing to apply continuing violation theory where complaint alleged that employer continued to use discriminatory eligibility lists but failed to allege specific instances of discrimination resulting from that use | rejecting Ferguson's accomplices' claims that murders were not heinous, atrocious, or cruel | no continuing violation under Title VII where eligibility roster for promotion of fire fighters drafted more than 180 days before claim filed | where, however, the court held that the only act charged was the time-barred promulgation of the eligibility list, followed by its non-discriminatory use thereafter, 677 F.2d at 1084 | where plaintiffs complained of the state’s refusal to place them on a hiring roster, the filing period began to run on the date of notice of exclusion from the roster; the court rejected a “continuing violation” theory
