United States Eighth Circuit

In a suit brought by a female correctional officer alleging gender discrimination under 42 U.S.C. section 1983 and Title VII, summary judgment for defendants is affirmed where: 1) balancing the county's reasonable reassignment policy with the minimal restriction on plaintiff's employment, summary judgment on the Title VII claim was proper; and 2) the section 1983 claim failed as, in classifying based on gender, the county employed means that were substantially related to achieving important government objectives.
