121993P.pdf   03/05/2013  Tabby Butler  v.  Crittenden County, Arkansas
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  12-1993
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Jonesboro   
   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Loken and Colloton, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - civil rights. Since plaintiff's race and gender discrimination
   claims under Section 1983 are based on alleged constitutional violations,
   she was not required to comply with Title VII's procedural requirements,
   such as filing her action within 90 days of receiving a right to sue letter,
   in order to maintain them; while plaintiff suffered tangible job detriments
   in the form of a suspension and termination, she failed to show that her
   rejection of her supervisor's advances caused the detriments; plaintiff's
   allegations of different treatment were insufficient to establish a prima
   facie case of discrimination on the basis of her sex and race; retaliation
   claim under Section 1981 rejected; First Amendment claim under Section
   1983 rejected as the comments in question were made as part of her
   official duties and were not immunized under the First Amendment.
