Vingi v. State of RI ( 1997 )

[NOT FOR PUBLICATION] UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIRST CIRCUIT No. 97-1705 DEBRA C. VINGI, Plaintiff, Appellant, v. STATE OF RHODE ISLAND, Defendant, Appellee. APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF RHODE ISLAND [Hon. Francis J. Boyle, Senior U.S. District Judge] Before Selya, Circuit Judge, Campbell, Senior Circuit Judge, and Lynch, Circuit Judge. Debra C. Vingi on brief pro se. Jeffrey B. Pine, Attorney General, and Brenda A. Doyle, Special Assistant Attorney General, on brief for appellee. December 29, 1997 Per Curiam. Plaintiff-appellant challenges the summary judgment dismissal of claims alleging gender discrimination in the rejection of her applications for admission to the State Police Training Academy. The claims were based on theories of disparate impact in the use of a written exam, background investigations and application processing, intentional discrimination, and alleged retaliation for the filing of administrative complaints. Reviewing the judgment de novo, in light of the briefs, the appendix, and the record, we agree with the district court's decision and affirm substantially for the reasons set forth in the magistrate judge's May 24, 1996 Report and Recommendation. See Loc. R. 27.1. Affirmed. -2-
