Rioux v. City of Atlanta, 11th Cir. Mar. 18, 2008
07-11657 Rioux v. City of Atlanta
Before EDMONDSON, Chief Judge, WILSON, Circuit Judge, and ALTONAGA,1 District Judge.
ALTONAGA, District Judge: The issues in this appeal, a civil rights action raising claims of race discrimination, are whether the trial court erred in granting summary judgment in favor of Appellees, Defendants below, Lynette Young (“COO Young”) and Dennis L. Rubin (“Rubin”), by misapplying the summary judgment standard to the facts presented and on the basis of Appellees’ qualified immunity. While we agree with Appellant, Plaintiff below, Gerard Rioux (“Rioux”), that he presented a prima facie case of discrimination and showed sufficient evidence of pretext, we find that he has not shown Defendants violated clearly established federal law, and we affirm. … Rioux v. City of Atlanta.
- Honorable Cecilia M. Altonaga, United States District Judge for the Southern District of Florida, sitting by designation. [↩]
