United States Second Circuit
Cox v. Onondaga County Sheriff's Department, 12-1526
Summary judgment in favor of defendant-employer on plaintiffs' Title VII retaliation claims is affirmed, where: 1) defendant-employer's investigation into plaintiffs' claims of racial harassment was not an adverse employment action; and 2) while plaintiffs have established a prima facie case of retaliation based on threats of discipline against plaintiffs for filing a false report with the EEOC, defendant-employer has demonstrated a non-retaliatory purpose as a matter of law.
