DeANGELIS v. EL PASO MUN. POLICE OFFICERS ASS'N

No. 93-8700.

51 F.3d 591 (1995)

Sylvia DeANGELIS, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. EL PASO MUNICIPAL POLICE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION, Defendant-Appellant.

United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

May 10, 1995.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Christian J. Gros, San Antonio, TX, Joseph R. Messa, for appellant.

Thomas A. Spieczny, El Paso, TX, for appellee.

Before JONES and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges, and SHAW, District Judge.

EDITH H. JONES, Circuit Judge:

The principal issue in this case is whether a jury verdict for the plaintiff in a Title VII sexual harassment case may be supported only by evidence of a few written jibes, at women police officers generally and the plaintiff in particular, published in the police association newsletter. We hold that such evidence, rife as it is with first amendment overtones, will not suffice and so reverse the judgment.
