Ada A. Breedlove, Plaintiff-appellant, v. Housing Authority of the City of Swainsboro, Georgia, Jamesh. Morgan, Chairman, et al., Etc., Defendants-appellees, 527 F.2d 1389 (5th Cir. 1976)

Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit - 527 F.2d 1389 (5th Cir. 1976) March 4, 1976

Fletcher Farrington, Savannah, Ga., for plaintiff-appellant.

Julian H. Toporek, Savannah, Ga., Sidney B. Shepherd, Swainsboro, Ga., for defendants-appellees.

Before WISDOM, COLEMAN and GEE, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:


The judgment of the district court is affirmed.

The district court found 'as a matter of fact that Mrs. Breedlove being female did not determine and control the action taken by the Commission. . . .' Upon consideration of this finding and the full record, we hold that sex was not a factor in the Commission's employment decision. Any prima facie case of sexual discrimination was adequately rebutted. McDonnell-Douglas Corp. v. Green, 1973, 411 U.S. 792, 93 S. Ct. 1817, 36 L. Ed. 2d 668.

Affirmed.
