Description
Plaintiffs appeal from an order of the district court entering judgment for defendants in this class action lawsuit alleging intentional discrimination under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, and municipal conduct causing a prohibited disparate impact under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq. The suit, which was brought on behalf of entry-level female firefighters in the City of Cleveland, challenged the rank-order written and physical capabilities selection examination established by the city as perpetuating the exclusion of women from firefighting positions. The district court granted defendants' motion for a directed verdict on the charge of intentional discrimination and, at the close of all the evidence, found for defendants on the Title VII claim.
