   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  08-1924
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Bye and Melloy, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - employment discrimination. The district court did not err in
   finding plaintiff had failed to establish a racially hostile work
   environment as some of the incidents she relied on to establish her claim
   were not racial in nature and the remaining incidents were not so severe
   or frequent that they rose to the high threshold of actionable harm
   necessary to constitute a hostile work environment; constructive
   discharge claim failed for the same reasons; plaintiff failed to show her
   discipline was in retaliation for her complaints about discrimination;
   defendant established a legitimate, non-discriminatory basis for plaintiff's
   discipline. Judge Bye, concurring in part and dissenting in part.
