United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

Lauren CRUMP, Plaintiff - Appellant v. COVENANT HEALTH SYSTEM, doing business as Covenant Medical Center, Defendant - Appellee

No. 19-10178

Decided: July 24, 2019

Before REAVLEY, JONES, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.

Joseph Craig Johnston, Attorney, Johnston & Miller, Lubbock, TX, for Plaintiff - Appellant Gary D. Eisenstat, Ogletree, Deakins, Nash, Smoak & Stewart, P.C., Dallas, TX, Heidi Hartmann Harrison, Ogletree, Deakins, Nash, Smoak & Stewart, P.C., Dallas, TX, for Defendant - Appellee

Lauren Crump appeals the district court’s dismissal of her complaint under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Crump acknowledges that her sole claim is contrary to our circuit precedent. See O’Daniel v. Industrial Service Solutions, 922 F.3d 299, 305 (5th Cir. 2019); Blum v. Gulf Oil Corp., 597 F.2d 936, 938 (5th Cir. 1979). “It is a well-settled Fifth Circuit rule of orderliness that one panel of our court may not overturn another panel’s decision, absent an intervening change in the law, such as by a statutory amendment, or the Supreme Court, or our en banc court.” Jacobs v. Nat’l Drug Intelligence Ctr., 548 F.3d 375, 378 (5th Cir. 2008). We are bound by our prior precedent in this case. AFFIRMED.
