U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 01-3240
Transportation
Eastern District of Arkansas
Civil case - civil rights. When it granted the defendant's motion for
summary judgment on plaintiff's Title VII failure-to-hire claim, the
district court improperly made credibility determinations and weighed
the evidence against plaintiff when it evaluated his pretext argument;
for the purposes of ruling on the motion for summary judgment ,
plaintiff's specific statements about information he was given during
the application process were sufficient, alone, to support a jury finding
that defendant's stated nondiscriminatory reason for not hiring
plaintiff was a pretext for race discrimination.
