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.
