U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 06-1156
Southern District of Iowa
[PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Murphy and Colloton, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Employment discrimination. Plaintiff failed to produce
direct evidence that her termination was the result of unlawful racial
discrimination; applying the McDonnell Douglas analysis, assuming
plaintiff made a prima facie case that her termination was the result
of race-based discrimination, she failed to show that the employer's
stated legitimate, non-discriminatory ground for her discharge was a
pretext for race discrimination; similarly, plaintiff failed to show
that her termination was the result of retaliation for her complaints
about race discrimination, and the district court did not err in granting
the employer's summary judgment on this claim.
