How courts have described this case

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

• holding that an issue of fact was presented as to the employer’s knowledge based on a supervisor’s overhearing “at least some” of the alleged racist comments
• holding that where a branch manager overheard racist comments, an issue of fact was created as to whether the corporate employer had actual notice of the hostile work environment
• finding that hearing racist comments daily and being directly called a demeaning racial epithet could constitute severe and pervasive harassment
• noting that racial slurs were humiliating because they were “directed at [the plaintiff] every day”
• requesting that the Court defer ruling on his hostile work environment claim “until further discovery is conducted and Defendant seeks summary judgment”
• explaining that on review of district court’s grant of summary judgment, we construe all facts and draw all rea- sonable inferences in favor of the nonmoving party
