United States Fifth Circuit
SMITH v. CITY OF JACKSON, 02-60850
Trial court's holding that claims of disparate impact cannot be brought under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 is affirmed, however, because district court granted summary judgment in favor of defendants before addressing pending motions related to the plaintiffs' ability to fully develop the summary judgment record, the trial court's final judgment is vacated.
