Gregory BACKUS, Appellant, v. BAPTIST MEDICAL CENTER, Appellee
Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit
Decided February 23, 1982No. 81-1505PublishedCited by 44 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
BRIGHT, Circuit Judge.
Gregory Backus appeals from an adverse judgment in his Title VII action. He contends that the district court erred in holding that his employer presented sufficient evidence to establish sex as a bona fide occupational qualification for a position as a nurse in the hospital’s labor and delivery section. Because a live controversy no longer exists between the parties, we do not reach the merits. Instead, we vacate the judgment of the district court and direct the dismissal of the action as moot. 1
