   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  18-2850
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Erickson, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Beam, Circuit 
   Judge] 
   Civil case - Employment discrimination. The defendant law firm's policy 
   mandating retirement at age 70 did not violate the Age Discrimination in 
   Employment Act; considering the factors set out by the Supreme Court in 
   Clackamas Gastroenterology Associates v. Well, 538 U.S. 440 (2003) and 
   prior Eighth Circuit cases, the undisputed record establishes that as an 
   equity partner with various rights and powers, plaintiff was not an 
   employee as that term has been interpreted under federal 
   anti-discrimination laws.
