United States Eighth Circuit

In an employment discrimination action, district court judgment is affirmed in part and reversed in part where: 1) the court properly denied relief on the disparate impact claim as plaintiff's evidence was insufficient to make a prima facie case of disparate impact; and 2) the court erred in granting defendants summary judgment on plaintiff's retaliation claim as there was a genuine question of material fact as to whether defendants' proffered explanations for its actions were pretextual.
