United States Second Circuit

In a dispute involving a disparate-impact challenge to defendant's promotion practices and where the plaintiff, an African-American firefighter for the City of New Haven, alleges that the firefighter promotion exams challenged in Ricci were arbitrarily weighted thus yielding an impermissible disparate impact, judgment of the district court is reversed where the court erred in dismissing the claim as necessarily foreclosed by Ricci.
