Case: Discrimination/Promotion (E.D. Ark.)

An Arkansas federal district court granted summary judgment to the City of Little Rock on a Black crew leader’s race discrimination claim under 42 U.S.C. §1983 and the Arkansas Civil Rights Act, finding that the crew leader failed to establish that the city’s stated reason for not promoting him to supervisor—the selected White candidate had significantly more supervisory experience—was pretextual, and the subjective interview process showed no evidence of discriminatory abuse.
