   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  09-2077
                          and No:  09-3043
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Jonesboro   
   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Wollman and Shepherd, Circuit
   Judges]
   Civil Case - sexual harassment and retaliation. Grant of summary
   judgment to employer is affirmed. Federal claim for sexual harassment
   was time-barred; state claims are also untimely and continuing violation
   doctrine did not save claims. Retaliation claims fail because no
   reasonable factfinder could infer a causal connection between her
   complaint and her termination based on poor performance or conclude
   the reason for her termination was pretextual. Conduct did not meet
   standard for state claim of outrage.
