   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  02-3328
   Eastern District of Missouri   
   Civil case - Employment law. The district court did not err in granting 
   the defendant employer's motion for summary judgment on plaintiff's 
   Equal Pay Act claim, as plaintiff failed to show her work was 
   substantially equal to the male employee to whom she sought to compare 
   her salary; job classification or title is not dispositive for determining 
   whether jobs are equal for purposes of the Equal Pay Act and Title VII; 
   plaintiff's wage claims under Title VII and the Missouri Human Rights 
   Act were subject to the same analysis and suffered the same failure of 
   proof; retaliation claim was undercut by intervening unprotected events 
   (critical bank audit findings) which eroded any connection between 
   plaintiff's protected conduct and her treatment; evidence failed to 
   establish constructive discharge claim; district court did not err in 
   imposing sanctions on the motion of the FDIC, from whom plaintiff 
   sought frivolous discovery; however, as there was no evidence plaintiff 
   personally violated Rule 11 or vexatiously multiplied the proceedings, 
   the attorneys' fees sanction should have been imposed against her 
   attorney.
