Yupei Wang v. Walmart Stores
Opinion
Yupei Wang appeals an order of the District Court 1 dismissing her employment-discrimination action. After careful de novo review, see Strand v. Diversified Collection Serv., Inc., 380 F.3d 316, 317 (8th Cir. 2004), we affirm. Wang’s choice-of-law arguments fail because she did not raise them before the District Court, see St. Paul Fire & Marine Ins. Co. v. Compaq Computer Corp., 539 F.3d 809, 824 (8th Cir. 2008), and we agree with the District Court that the Arkansas Civil Rights Act does not provide a cause of action for perceived disabilities, see Faulkner v. Ark. Children’s Hosp., 347 Ark. 941, 69 S.W.3d 393, 402 (2002).
Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
. The Honorable Robert T. Dawson, United States District Judge for the Western District of Arkansas, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable Erin Setser, United States Magistrate Judge for the Western District of Arkansas.
