   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  19-1142
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota   
[PUBLISHED] [Erickson, Author, with Grasz and Kobes, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Employment discrimination. Defendant considered plaintiff's race only to ensure that any corrective action was not based on racial discrimination; without direct evidence of discrimination, the court applies the McDonnell Douglas analysis and determines that even if plaintiff made a prima facie case of discrimination, defendant had a legitimate, non-discriminatory reason for plaintiff's termination - violation of defendant's Violence-Free Workplace policy - and plaintiff failed to show the reason was a pretext for racial discrimination.
