172926P.pdf   11/13/2018  EEOC  v.  North Memorial Health Care
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  17-2926
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Erickson and Grasz, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Title VII. The EEOC failed to establish a prima facie case of 
   opposition-clause unlawful retaliation because merely requesting a 
   religious accommodation is not the same as opposing the allegedly unlawful 
   denial of a religious accommodation; when an employee or applicant 
   requests a religious accommodation, and the request is denied by an 
   employer that accommodates reasonable requests that do cause undue 
   hardship, there is no basis for an opposition-clause retaliation claim 
   under Sec. 2000e-3(a); rather the employee or applicant's exclusive Title 
   VII remedy is an unlawful disparate treatment or disparate impact claim 
   under Sec. 2000e-2(a)(1). Judge Grasz, dissenting.
