U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 04-2060
District of Nebraska
[PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Bye and Colloton, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - employment discrimination. The Omaha Fire Department's
2002 Affirmative Action Plan was not narrowly tailored to remedy
specifically identified past discrimination, and the promotional decisions
in the case (promoting lower ranked black employees rather than higher
ranked white employees) were the result of racial classifications that
were not narrowly tailored to remedy identified past discrimination; the
district court's grant of summary judgment on plaintiffs' claims of
reverse discrimination is reversed.
