   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  12-3780
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines   
   [PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Colloton and Gruender, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil Case - sex and pregnancy discrimination. District court did not err 
   in granting summary judgment on claim of constructive discharge, as Ames 
   did not demonstrate she was forced to resign upon her return to work 
   following birth of her child and need for lactation room. Even if comment 
   that it was best she go home with her babies supported a finding of intent 
   to force her to resign, Ames failed to give Nationwide a reasonable 
   opportunity to address and ameliorate conditions. In addition, Ames could 
   not show she would have been fired had she not resigned. Ames waived 
   argument that she was actually discharged because she did not raise the 
   issue before the district court.

   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  12-3780
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines   
   [PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Colloton and Gruender, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Employment Discrimination. Plaintiff's evidence was 
   insufficient to establish constructive discharge; even if her supervisor's 
   comment that it would be best for plaintiff to go home to be with her 
   babies might support a finding of intent to force plaintiff to resign, her 
   constructive discharge claim would still fail because she did not give 
   defendant a reasonable opportunity to address and ameliorate the 
   conditions she claims constituted constructive discharge; plaintiff did 
   not raise her argument that she was actually discharged in the district 
   court, and the argument was waived.
