Dr. Jacqulyn Diggs v. Harris Hospital-Methodist, Inc.

REAVLEY, Circuit Judge:

Jacqulyn Diggs, a black, female physician, brought a Title VII action against the private, non-profit hospital that terminated her staff privileges. Following a bench trial, the district court denied Diggs all relief, ruling against her both on the ground that she lacked the capacity to bring suit under Title VII because she was not an employee of the defendant hospital, and on the merits. Because we find that Diggs failed to prove the existence of an employment relationship with which the hospital allegedly interfered, we affirm.
