Description
Joyce Williams ("Williams") appeals the jurys verdict in favor of the Eau Claire Public Schools ("Eau Claire") on Williamss claims, brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e (Title VII) and Michigans Elliot-Larsen Civil Rights Act, MCL 37.2101, et seq., that Eau Claire refused to hire her as the Assistant Athletic Director because of her gender, and refused to give her a raise in retaliation for her having filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC") a charge of gender discrimination. Before us in this appeal is Williamss claim that the district court abused its discretion in refusing to give the jury Williamss proffered instructions on pretext. Because we find that the instructions given by the district court comply with the law as pronounced by the Supreme Court in St. Marys Honor Center v. Hicks, 509 U.S. 502 (1993), and Reeves v. Sanderson Plumbing Products, Inc., 530 U.S. 133 (2000), and because the instructions which Williams proffered do not correctly state that law, we find no abuse of discretion, and AFFIRM the judgment of the district court.
