Williams v. Columbus Reg'l Healthcare Sys. Inc.

1 Citing case

  1. Moore v. Grady Mem'l Hosp. Corp.

    834 F.3d 1168 (11th Cir. 2016)   Cited 37 times

    Despite recognizing that Dr. Moore's contract with MSM constituted a proper basis for the § 1981 claim, and made Dr. Moore's case distinct from Jimenez, the district court dismissed the § 1981 discrimination claim. The district court relied on an unpublished Eleventh Circuit opinion, Williams v. Columbus Regional Healthcare Systems, Inc. , 499 Fed.Appx. 928 (11th Cir. 2012), and, more specifically, the underlying opinion from the district court in that case, Williams v. Columbus Regional Healthcare Systems, Inc. , No. 4:11–CV–28 (CDL), 2012 WL 315482 (M.D. Ga. Feb. 1, 2012). That reliance was understandable, but misplaced.
