How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that several inappropriate jokes, a verbal sexual advance, referring to the plaintiff as “Hot Lips,” and talking about the plaintiff’s clothing were not enough
• holding that retaliatory harassment by a supervisor is actionable but “tak[ing] no position on whether an employer can be liable for coworkers’ retaliatory harassment”
• holding that “isolated incidents” did not “amount to discriminatory changes in the terms and conditions of a plaintiff’s employment”
• holding that several dirty jokes, a verbal sexual advance, a one-time reference to plaintiff as “Hot Lips,” and comments about plaintiffs state of dress were not sufficiently severe and pervasive
• holding that simple teasing, offhand comments, and isolated incidents including a sexual advance did not amount to discriminatory changes in the terms and conditions of a plaintiff's employment
• concluding that “several dirty jokes” told in the plaintiff’s presence, defendant’s “verbal sexual advance,” and a “one-time reference to plaintiff as ‘Hot Lips’” did not amount to sexual harassment
