   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  15-1930
   U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota - Rapid City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge, and Colloton, Circuit 
   Judge] 
   Civil case - Employment discrimination. The record did not show a genuine 
   issue of material fact as to defendant's liability under a cat's paw 
   theory, and the district court did not err by proceeding to the McDonnell 
   Douglas analysis; under the McDonnell Douglas analysis, the district court 
   did not err in finding defendant had articulated a legitimate, 
   non-discriminatory ground for plaintiff's discharge - a company-wide 
   reduction in force - which plaintiff failed to show was a pretext for 
   discrimination.
