U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 07-2677
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines
[PUBLISHED] [Arnold, Author, with Murphy and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - employment discrimination. To make a case of retaliation,
plaintiff must show that the protected conduct was a determinative - not
merely a motivating - factor in the employer's adverse employment
action; here , the evidence failed to show that plaintiff's reports of
misconduct were a determining factor, and the district court did not err in
granting defendant's motion for summary judgment.
