United States Tenth Circuit

Dismissal "without prejudice" of plaintiff's civil rights claim alleging a hostile work environment and retaliation by officials of a state fair is affirmed where the order was a final decision such that appellate jurisdiction was proper, and, although the district court mistakenly applied a heightened pleading standard in evaluating the propriety of dismissal, dismissal was also proper under the correct standard.
