MEEKS v. DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES (2018)

United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.

Sharon L. MEEKS Plaintiff-Appellant v. DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES Defendant-Appellee

No. 17-2931

Decided: July 24, 2018

Before WOLLMAN, BOWMAN, and ERICKSON, Circuit Judges.

Sharon L. Meeks, Pro Se Brett David Watson, Brett D. Watson, Attorney At Law, Searcy, AR, for Plaintiff-Appellant Jennifer Dedman, Arkansas Department of Human Services, Office of Policy & Legal Services, Little Rock, AR, Amanda Land, Arkansas Department of Finance Administration, Little Rock, AR, Nicholas Rudolph Windle, Arkansas Department of Human Services, Office of Chief Counsel, Little Rock, AR, for Defendant-Appellee

[Unpublished]

Sharon Meeks appeals from the order of the District Court ¹ granting summary judgment to her former employer the Arkansas Department of Human Services in her Title VII retaliation action. After de novo review, we conclude that the District Court did not err. See Hutton v. Maynard, 812 F.3d 679, 683–84 (8th Cir. 2016) (setting forth the evidence necessary to survive a motion for summary judgment on a Title VII retaliation claim); see also Conolly v. Clark, 457 F.3d 872, 876 (8th Cir. 2006) (“[A] properly supported motion for summary judgment is not defeated by self-serving affidavits.”).

We affirm the judgment of the District Court.
