   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  15-3801
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Gruender and Beam, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Employment Discrimination. Plaintiff's complaints about 
   discrimination against a fellow female employee and inappropriate conduct 
   by a male co-worker were too distant in time to establish causation and 
   retaliation for protected conduct; nor was there evidence from which a 
   jury could infer a discriminatory motive and plaintiff could not establish 
   the causation element of her prima facie case of retaliation and reprisal; 
   with respect to her gender discrimination claim, the district court did 
   not err in concluding that, assuming plaintiff made a prima facie case, 
   defendant had established a legitimate, non-discriminatory ground for her 
   discharge which plaintiff failed to show was a pretext for gender 
   discrimination; with respect to plaintiff's hostile work environment 
   claim, she failed to show that the harassment affected a term, condition 
   or privilege of her employment.
