United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.

August 30, 1999.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Robert W. Ennis, IV, Tuscaloosa, AL, Christopher Lyle McIlwain, Hubbard, Smith, McIlwain, Brakefield & Shattuck, Tuscaloosa, AL, for Defendants-Appellants.

Samuel Fisher, Ann C. Robertson, Joel S. Isenberg, Gordon, Silberman, Wiggins & Childs, Birmingham, AL, Sarah L. Thompson, Tuscaloosa, AL, for Plaintiff-Appellee.

Before COX, Circuit Judge, FAY, Senior Circuit Judge, and NANGLE, Senior District Judge.


PER CURIAM:

The City of Tuscaloosa ("the City") and the Civil Service Board of Tuscaloosa ("the Civil Service Board") appeal a judgment against them under Title VII for wrongful termination based on sex. They argue that the district court wrongly denied their motion for a judgment as a matter of law because the plaintiff did not introduce any evidence that the City's alleged discrimination directly caused her termination. We agree, and therefore REVERSE.
