   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  18-3743
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota   
[PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Loken and Benton, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Employment discrimination. In the absence of direct evidence of gender-based discrimination in defendant's decision not to promote plaintiff, the court would apply the McDonnell Douglas burden-shifting framework; as the defendant concedes the plaintiff made a prima facie case, the issue is whether defendant's proffered non-discriminatory reason for its decision - plaintiff's interview - was a pretext for discrimination; plaintiff failed to meet her burden to show pretext and the district court did not err in rejecting her cat's-paw theory.
