United States Tenth Circuit


Piercy v. Maketa, 05-1192

In a suit against a county sheriff's office and several of its employees alleging sex discrimination and retaliation, summary judgment for defendants is affirmed in part as to the retaliation claim as plaintiff failed to bring forward evidence to show that retaliatory motive was a determinative factor in her dismissal. However, the judgment is reversed in part as to the discrimination claim where summary judgment was improperly granted on whether plaintiff's inability to transfer to a particular jail was an adverse employment action.
