U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
Eulice M. Holliman v. Clark Atlanta University, 162 F. App'x 911 (11th Cir. 2006)
Dubina, Goldberg, Marcus, Per Curiam

Eulice M. Holliman v. Clark Atlanta University

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

Appellant Eulice M. Holliman (“Holliman”) appeals the district court’s grant of summary judgment against her in her gender discrimination action against her employer, defendant/appellee Clark Atlanta University (“Clark”), and former supervisor, defendant/appellee Nathaniel Roberts, Jr. (“Roberts”).

The issues presented on appeal are (1) whether the district court properly granted the defendants’ motion to strike the declaration of Richard McLemore; and (2) whether the district court properly granted summary judgment to the defendants because Holliman could not establish a prima facie case of gender-based hostile work environment discrimination.

We review evidentiary rulings for abuse of discretion and will reverse the district court’s decision only in cases where substantial prejudice exists. See Hall v. United Ins. Co. of Am., 367 F.3d 1255, 1259 (11th Cir. 2004). Indeed, “[t]he district court has a range of options; and so long as the district court does not commit a clear error in judgment, we will affirm the district court’s decision.” Young v. City of Palm Bay, Fla., 358 F.3d 859, 863 (11th Cir. 2004).

We review de novo a district court’s order granting summary judgment, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the party opposing the motion. Green v. Union Foundry Co., 281 F.3d 1229,1233 (11th Cir. 2002).

After reviewing the record, reading the parties’ briefs and having the benefit of oral argument, we affirm the district court’s order striking McLemore’s declaration and its grant of summary judgment.

AFFIRMED.
