Muor v. U.S. Bank Nat'l Assoc., No. 12-2757 (8th Cir. 2013)
Annotate this CasePlaintiff appealed the district court's grant of summary judgment in favor of U.S. Bank on her claims of discrimination and retaliation under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. 2000e-1 et seq. The court concluded that summary judgment in favor of U.S. Bank on plaintiff's discrimination claim was proper where the bank had a legitimate, non-discriminatory basis for issuing a written warning and where plaintiff had not met her burden of demonstrating pretext. The court also concluded that summary judgment in favor of U.S. Bank was proper where plaintiff failed to show a causal connection between her protected activity and the bank's alleged adverse employment action. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment.
