U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 22-2922
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Loken and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Missouri Human Rights Act. As plaintiff's common law claims
for defamation, conversion and unlawful infliction of emotional distress
arise out of the same factual allegations as her Missouri Human Rights Act
claim, the district court did not err in finding the common law claims
were preempted by the Act; plaintiff alleged a hostile work environment,
based on age and disability; with respect to the age claim, she failed to
provide any evidence that her age was a determinative factor in the
decision to terminate her; nor can she show that her disability was the
motivating factor in the termination; plaintiff failed to provide any
meaningful legal analysis to support her claim of constructive discharge,
and it is waived.
