U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 12-2654
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Jonesboro
[PUBLISHED] [Chief Judge Riley, Author, with Bright and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Civil Case - employment discrimination. Appeal is limited
to review of summary judgment as that was only order designated in the
notice of appeal. District court correctly granted summary judgment on
discrimination claims, as there was no direct evidence of discrimination
and employer articulated legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason for
termination and Evance did not show other similarly situated employees were
treated more favorably. District court properly granted summary judgment on
defamation claims, as there was no evidence to support she was defamed by
falsely stating she initiated improper conduct with resident.
