Unpublished Dispositionsusan Poore, Plaintiff-appellant, v. C.f. Air Freight, Inc., Defendant-appellee, 798 F.2d 1415 (6th Cir. 1986)

In University of Tennessee v. Eliott, No. 85-588 (Slip op., July 7, 1986) the United States Supreme Court affirmed this Court's holding that "Congress did not intend unreviewed state administrative proceedings to have preclusive effect on Title VII claims," id. at 7. It also held that in Sec. 1983 actions "federal courts must give the agency's factfindings the same preclusive effect to which it would be entitled in the State's Courts," at 10.

Accordingly, in this Title VII sex discrimination case the judgment of the District Court holding that a decision of the Administrative Law Judge of the Tennessee Human Rights Commission is entitled to preclusive effect, is error. The judgment is reversed and the case remanded for further proceedings consistent with the Supreme Court's decision in Elliott, supra.
