   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  06-3433
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Murphy and Bright, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Civil rights. Police officials were entitled to qualified immunity on the plaintiff's claims that they had been discriminated against on the basis of their gender; while defendants discriminated against plaintiffs on the basis of their gender when they assigned them to night shift work, and while the decision to do so was not supported by an important government objective, reasonable police administrators could believe that the decision to assign female officers to the night watch to assure that female officers were available for certain police functions was lawful and did not deprive plaintiffs of any constitutional rights.
