United States Eighth Circuit

In an action against defendant-UPS alleging race and gender discrimination and retaliation in violation of Title VII, summary judgment for UPS is affirmed where: 1) plaintiff failed to establish a prima facie case of race or gender discrimination because UPS's initial disqualification decision did not constitute an adverse employment action; 2) plaintiff failed to establish a causal connection between plaintiff's EEOC charges and UPS's disqualification decision; and thus 3) she failed to establish a prima facie case of retaliation.
