Jacobs v. Boeing Co.
Citation: 84 F. App'x 925Docket: No. 02-35738; D.C. No. CV-01-01295-BJR
Court: Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit; December 21, 2003; Federal Appellate Court
Joan Jacobs appeals the district court’s summary judgment that dismissed her lawsuit against Boeing Company for alleged retaliation under Title VII and the Washington Law Against Discrimination. The appellate court affirms the district court's decision, stating that Jacobs voluntarily resigned from her position and was not constructively discharged, which means she did not experience an adverse employment action necessary to establish a prima facie case of retaliation. Consequently, Jacobs' remaining arguments are rendered moot. The court reviews the summary judgment de novo, referencing legal standards for retaliation claims under Title VII, which require proof of engaging in protected activity, suffering an adverse employment decision, and establishing a causal link between the two. The disposition is not published and cannot be cited in future cases except as permitted by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
