U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit - 141 F.3d 1167 (8th Cir. 1998) Submitted Feb. 9, 1998. Decided Feb. 20, 1998

Appeal from the United District Court for the District of South Dakota.

Before FAGG and MURPHY, Circuit Judges, and SMITH,* , District Judge.

PER CURIAM.


Kathy Casper appeals the adverse grant of summary judgment on Casper's claims for sex discrimination based on a disparate impact analysis and for the intentional infliction of emotional distress. Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties' briefs, we conclude the district court correctly ruled that Casper neither established a prima facie case of disparate impact under Title VII nor a state law cause of action for the intentional infliction of emotional distress. Because the controlling law is clear, our review satisfies us that an opinion would have no precedential value in this fact-intensive case. We thus affirm the district court without further discussion. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

The Honorable Ortrie D. Smith, United States District Judge for the Western District of Missouri, sitting by designation
