U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 12-3536
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis
[PUBLISHED] [Per Curiam - Before Murphy, Smith and Colloton, Circuit
Judges]
Civil case - Civil rights. Under circuit precedents, plaintiff's
supervisor's conduct was not so severe or pervasive as to alter the terms
and conditions of her employment, and the district court did not err in
granting defendant's motion for summary judgment on plaintiff's hostile
work environment claim; plaintiff's evidence that her supervisor demanded
sexual favors in exchange for influencing the employer's decision to
continue plaintiff's employment and that she was terminated for failing to
cooperate with the supervisor's attempts to engage her sexually was
sufficient to state a quid pro quo harassment claim, and the district
court erred in granting defendant's motion for summary judgment on the
claim. Judge Murphy, concurring in part and dissenting in part.
