U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 11-1142
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis
[PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Colloton and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Civil Case - employment discrimination. The record does not support an
inference that the subordinate was the decisionmaker or that subordinate's
discriminatory animus was the proximate cause of the decisionmaker's
decision to forego hiring plaintiff for a full-time police officer position.
Record did not show that plaintiff was better qualified that officers selected
for position; similar qualifications doe not raise inference of discrimination.
