Case Name: Shannon Volling et al v. Kurtz Paramedic Services, Inc.

Case No.: 15-3572

Officials: FLAUM, MANION, and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges.

Focus: Retaliation

Plaintiffs Shannon Volling and Allen Springer brought federal and state retaliation claims against Antioch Rescue Squad (“ARS”) and its subcontractor, Kurtz Paramedic Services, Inc. (“Kurtz”). Plaintiffs allege the companies wrongfully refused to hire them as emergency medical technicians (“EMTs”) because of plaintiffs’ earlier complaints alleging sexual harassment against ARS and Metro Paramedic Services, Inc. (“Metro”). Plaintiffs settled with ARS, and Kurtz moved to dismiss plaintiffs’ claim. The district court dismissed the case with prejudice. We affirm, in part, and reverse, in part.
