Barbara Johnson v. City of Mobile

Summary

The court affirmed the judgment for the City on Johnson's Title VII and ADA retaliation claims because she did not establish a materially adverse employment action or show that the City's stated reasons were pretextual. It also affirmed the denial of Johnson's continuance and new-trial motions because her appellate arguments lacked supporting authority. The court affirmed the City's entitlement to attorney fees based on the frivolousness of Johnson's claims but reversed the amount awarded and remanded for a reasoned lodestar calculation.
