   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  22-1547
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Central   
   [PUBLISHED] [Stras, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Arnold, Circuit 
   Judge] 
   Civil case - Civil rights. Even assuming plaintiff could establish a 
   prima-facie case of gender-based discrimination, the defendant offered 
   legitimate, non-discriminatory grounds for her termination which she 
   failed to show were pretexts, and the district court did not err in 
   granting the defendant's motion for summary judgment on plaintiff's Title 
   VII gender discrimination claim; with respect to plaintiff's hostile work 
   environment claim, she failed to establish she experienced severe and 
   pervasive harassment sufficient to alter the conditions of her employment, 
   especially in light of her conduct in provoking the incidents; plaintiff 
   failed to exhaust her unequal pay claim; the district court did not err in 
   dismissing plaintiff's state-law based breach-of-contract claim.
