TRAPP v. TRAN (2021)

[Unpublished]

In this Title VII action, Jeremiah Preston Trapp appeals the district court's ² adverse grant of summary judgment on his retaliation claim. Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to Trapp, and drawing all reasonable inferences in his favor, see Findlator v. Allina Health Clinics, 960 F.3d 512, 514 (8th Cir. 2020) (de novo review), we conclude Trapp did not establish a prima facie case of retaliation, see AuBuchon v. Geithner, 743 F.3d 638, 641 (8th Cir. 2014) (elements of prima facie case). The judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.³
