Breedlove v. Housing Authority

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Breedlove v. Housing Authority, 527 F.2d 1389 (5th Cir. 1976)
12 Fair Empl. Prac. Cas. (BNA) 1472

Breedlove v. Housing Authority

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM:

The judgment of the district court is affirmed.

The district court found “as a matter of fact that Mrs. Breedlove being female did not determine and control the action taken by the Commission. . . . ” Upon consideration of this finding and the full record, we hold that sex was not a factor in the Commission’s employment decision. Any prima facie case of sexual discrimination was adequately rebutted. McDonnell-Douglas Corp. v. Green, 1973, 411 U.S. 792, 93 S.Ct. 1817, 36 L.Ed.2d 668.

Affirmed.
