United States Fifth Circuit

Denial of school district's motion for judgment as a matter of law after a jury verdict in favor of a former girls' athletic coach on his Title VII retaliation claim is reversed where no reasonable jury could have found that there was an "available" position for which plaintiff applied, and thus plaintiff could not have suffered an adverse employment action.
