United States Eighth Circuit

Summary judgment for defendants on employment-related sexual harassment, religious harassment, retaliation claims, and additional tort claims is affirmed where: 1) the conduct plaintiff complained of was not sufficient to make out a sexual harassment claim; 2) defendant-employer promptly and reasonably responded to plaintiff's complaints on religious matters; 3) the retaliation claim failed as there was no material change in plaintiff's conditions of employment; and 4) there was insufficient evidence to establish plaintiff's tort claims.
