   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  08-3860
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines   
   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Loken, Chief Judge, and Bye,
   Circuit Judge]
   Civil case - employment discrimination. District court erred in finding
   plaintiff had not made out a prima facie case of sex discrimination as her
   evidence of sex stereotyping was sufficient to satisfy the fourth prong of
   the McDonnell Douglas analysis; plaintiff's evidence was also sufficient
   to create a genuine factual dispute as to whether the employer's stated
   grounds for her discharge were pretextual; the order granting defendant
   summary judgment is reversed, and the matter is remanded for further
   proceedings. Chief Judge Loken, dissenting.
