How courts have described this case

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

  • holding that objectionable conduct approximately twelve times over four days could be seen as pervasive
  • emphasizing that the Supreme Court has made it clear that the standard is “severe or pervasive’ as opposed to “severe and pervasive.”
  • conceding that the ‘‘specified comments [in Shepherd ] were spread out over a period lasting more than a year, obviously diluting their pervasive characteristic”
  • finding a man, who had previously been in prison, frequently sniffing over a woman’s shoulder while she was seated, “can certainly be seen as ‘physically threatening’”
  • “It is unsurprising that we have held previously that a reasonable jury could find that coworkers created a hostile work environment despite having no physical contact with the plaintiff.”
  • \A genuine dispute of material fact means that 'evidence is such that a reasonable jury could return a verdict for the nonmoving party.' \ (quoting Anderson , 106 S.Ct. at 2506 )
