Case: Discrimination/Retaliation (S.D. Miss.)

A Mississippi federal court denied summary judgment to the city of McComb on a retaliation claim under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act by a Black female chief detective who was allegedly terminated after filing an EEOC charge for sex and race discrimination, finding temporal proximity—two days—between the filing of the charge and her supervisor’s questioning of her performance, and that McComb’s proffered reasons for her termination, including a falsified affidavit, could be pretextual.
