United States v. Pelliere

How courts have described this case

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

• recognizing that subjective decision-making may give rise to an inference of discrimination where there is evidence to provide a nexus between the subjective decision- making and discrimination
• denying the plaintiffs’ motion for class certification based on a review of the record that the plaintiffs did not meet their burden on the commonality and typicality requirements
• collective bargaining agreements and management directives for salaried positions introduced objective criteria with regard to promotions, which, along with lack of evidence of racial disparity, defeated class certification on basis of subjective decisionmaking
• absent statistical information to buttress allegations, affiants’ statements of dissatisfaction with performance evaluations, without any factual basis for claiming they were the product of racial animus, insufficient to link personal injuries to the injuries of a class
