U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 08-2707
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City
[PUBLISHED] [Judge Riley, Author, with Smith and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - employment discrimination. District court did not err in
finding plaintiffs failed to make a prima facie case of disparate impact;
however, the court erred in granting defendants summary judgment on
plaintiffs' claim that defendants retaliated against them for filing EEOC
charges as plaintiffs made a prima facie case and there was a question of
material fact as to whether defendants' proffered explanations for its
action were pretexts.
