   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  00-3270
   District of Minnesota   
Civil case - Civil rights. No reasonable juror could have found defendant's remedial actions taken in response to plaintiff's complaint regarding an offensive photo to be anything but prompt and reasonably calculated to end the harassment; plaintiff failed to create a genuine issue of material fact as to whether the harassment affected a term, condition or privilege of employment; plaintiff also failed to create a genuine issue of material fact as to whether the continuing rumors concerning the photo constituted harassment that was so offensive, intimidating or hostile that it poisoned the work environment and created a hostile work environment; plaintiff failed to establish that defendant's action in placing her on performance improvement plan was in retaliation for her complaint.
