151787P.pdf   08/05/2016  Denise Blomker  v.  Sally Jewell
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  15-1787
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Loken and Beam, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil Case - sexual harassment and retaliation. Because Blomker's 
   complaint fails to show harassment was so severe or pervasive to meet the 
   high threshold for a sexual harassment claim based on hostile work 
   environment, dismissal was appropriate for failure to state a claim as a 
   matter of law. The retaliation claim failed for lack of causation. The 
   district court's dismissal under Rule 12(b)(6) is affirmed. Judge Beam 
   dissents.
