United States Eighth Circuit

In an employment and sex discrimination action, summary judgment for plaintiff's former employer is affirmed where: 1) plaintiff failed to make a prima facie case of sex discrimination as the conduct plaintiff relied on to support her claim was not sufficiently severe or pervasive to affect a term, condition, or privilege of her employment: and 2) there was no evidence to support plaintiff's claim that she suffered adverse employment action as a result of her refusal to submit to a supervisor's implied or inferred demand for sexual favors.
