Culver v. City of Milwaukee
United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit
277 F.3d 908 (2002)
- Written by Mary Phelan D'Isa, JD
Facts
Culver (plaintiff), a White male, filed suit as class representative against the City of Milwaukee (defendant) for hiring discrimination and sought class certification on behalf of all White males who had been denied applications or positions with the Milwaukee police department because the department had changed entrance-exam scores to favor women and minorities. The district court certified the class in 1995, but six years later, a newly assigned district-court judge decertified the class and dismissed Culver’s action as moot. The district-court judge did not require notice of the dismissal to class members. Culver appealed.
