(November 28, 2022 MEMORANDUM TO COUNSEL OR PARTIES LISTED BELOW Regarding: Fifth Circuit Statement on Petitions for Rehearing or Rehearing En Banc No. 22-20289 Shater v. Shell Oil Co USDC No. 4:20-CV-1465)
Emilie Shumway
Brief:
- Shell Oil Co. did not violate Title VII of the Civil Rights Act when it decided not to hire a non-White applicant of Egyptian and Sudanese descent in favor of a White, British applicant, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals held Nov. 28 (Shater v. Shell Oil Co., No. 22-20289 (5th Cir. Nov. 28, 2022)).
- The plaintiff was one of three finalists considered for a high-level management position, according to court documents. The finalists were asked the same questions and considered according to the same three criteria. While the plaintiff better fit the third factor considered, the selected candidate had experience more consistent with the first two. The panel decided the latter applicant was the best fit, court documents show.
- Ultimately, the plaintiff could not show that his lack of selection was pretextual, the 5th Circuit found. While he argued that the White candidate was preselected, noting the panel said it had not made its decision when it had, one panelist testified he could not announce the decision at the time for nondiscriminatory reasons. The plaintiff’s argument that he was “clearly better qualified” than the selected candidate also fell short, the court found — while he was stronger on one element of the criteria, the selected candidate was stronger on the other elements, making them at least similarly qualified.
