Garnet filed a lawsuit in the Trumbull County Court of Common Pleas. The allegations of his lawsuit differed from the Yeager suit in that he alleged that GM had committed“unlawful discriminatory practices” in violation of R.C. 4112.02(A). Garnet’s suit did not contain the Title VII and Fifth Amendment claims found in Yeager’s suit. Garnet’s case was removed to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division, where it was dismissed, not for lack of standing, but because he did not establish a prima facie case of reverse discrimination. He then appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit, where the district court’s dismissal was affirmed.Garnet’s petition to the U.S. Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari was denied.
