   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  10-1251
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock   
   [PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with Beam and Smith, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - employment discrimination. Plaintiff's claim that he was
   not hired for a position because of his 2004 employment discrimination
   suit against the University fails because he cannot establish a causal
   nexus between the suit and the decision not to hire; even if plaintiff could
   establish a prima facie case by showing a causal connection, he did not
   establish that the stated reasons for the University's hiring decision - the
   candidates' qualifications and job interview performances - were pretexts
   for retaliation; plaintiff's Title VII gender discrimination charge was
   properly dismissed as it was not exhausted; turning to the merits of the
   Title VII and Section 1983 gender discrimination claims, plaintiff could
   not establish causation between his gender and the hiring decision and
   could not show the stated reasons for the decision were pretexts for
   gender discrimination.
