2d Cir. 16-748 Case History

Christiansen v. Omnicom Group
No. 16-748, Docket 

Court: U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit
Panel: Chief Judge Robert A. Katzmann, Judge Debra Ann Livingston, and U.S. District Judge Margo K. Brodie 

Appealed from :

 

OPINION
  • Opinion [Amended], reversed and remanded in part; affirmed in part (03/27/2017); See Errata for amendment from original
    • Per Curiam
      • Reverses dismissal of Title VII claim based on gender stereotyping: “Christiansen’s complaint plausibly alleges a gender stereotyping claim cognizable under the Supreme Court’s decision in Price Waterhouse v. Hopkins
      • Affirms judgment of district court in all other respects (bound by Circuit precedent as to sexual orientation claim under Title VII)
      • Remands for further proceedings consistent with opinion
  • Concurrence [Amended]; See Errata for amendment from original
    • Katzmann, Chief Judge, in which Brodie, District Judge, joins
      • Writes separately “to express my view that when the appropriate occasion presents itself, it would make sense for the Court to revisit the central legal issue confronted in Simonton and Dawson, especially in light of the changing legal landscape that has taken shape in the nearly two decades since Simonton issued.”
