   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Pine Bluff   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Hansen and Gruender, Circuit
   Judges]
Civil case - Employment Discrimination. District court did not err in granting summary judgment for defendant Fred's Inc., as the record showed that entity was not plaintiff's employer; defendant Fred's of Tennessee was not entitled to judgment as a matter of law on plaintiff's Equal Pay Act claims as a reasonable juror could have found that the pay differences between plaintiff and Fred's male employees were not based on factors other than gender; no error in awarding liquidated damages under the Pay Act, as there was sufficient evidence for a reasonable jury to find Fred's acted willfully and without reasonable grounds for believing its conduct was lawful.
