United States First Circuit

In a sex discrimination action, district court's grant of summary judgment in favor of defendant is reversed and remanded where plaintiff put forth sufficient evidence of discrimination that a reasonable jury could conclude that the promotion denial was more probably than not caused by sex-based discrimination. District court did not abuse its discretion in excluding the expert testimony proffered by plaintiff.
