   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  09-2004
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines   
   [PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Shepherd, Circuit Judge, and
   Lange, District Judge]
   Civil case - Employment Discrimination. District court did not err in
   finding plaintiff had failed to produce direct evidence of pregnancy
   discrimination; assuming plaintiff made a prima facie of pregnancy
   discrimination under the McDonnell Douglas burden-shifting framework,
   the district court did not err in finding defendant had established
   nondiscriminatory, legitimate grounds for her discharge - poor
   performance and violation of work rules - which plaintiff failed to show
   were pretexts for discrimination.
