First Circuit -- Perez-Cordero v. Wal-mart Puerto Rico, Inc.

District court's dismissal of Title VII suit for  lack of severity and pervasiveness reversed - plaintiff had raised genuine issues of material fact.

Error in dismissal of retaliation claim as well, as deft has not explained actions of managers and no explanation is evident in the record.
