   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  13-2388
   U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge, and Beam, Circuit 
   Judge] 
   Civil case - Employment discrimination. Although plaintiffs produced 
   evidence establishing common control and financial backing for defendants 
   OEF and Hugo, this was not sufficient to establish that the defendant 
   companies were a single employer or overcome the strong presumption of 
   organizational separateness; as a result, plaintiffs failed to show the 
   companies were single, integrated entity for Title VII purposes; since 
   their employer did not, as a separate entity, meet the statutory 
   numerosity requirement, their Title VII and Nebraska Fair Employment 
   Practices Act claims failed, and the district court did not err in 
   granting defendants' motion for summary judgment; plaintiffs failed to 
   properly plead a claim of tortious interference under Nebraska law against 
   defendant Ricketts, and the district court did not err in dismissing the 
   claim. Chief Judge Riley, concurring in part and dissenting in part.
