- Title
Browning v. United States: Is a Court's Refusal to Give a Jury Instruction Regarding Pretext in an Employment Discrimination Case reversible Error?
- Abstract
The article discusses a court case wherein the team leader of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Henrietta Browning argues with the court's refusal on her request for pretext instruction in an employment discrimination case. The Ninth Circuit court cited the Cassino case and held that the refusal to give a pretext in the case filed by Browning is not reversible error. Moreover, the district court says that essential elements provided by Browning had to prove in order to prevail her verdict.
