In the interim, three different parties had lived in the house for brief periods, but Auman had retained ownership. The last tenants, the Ashleys, experienced difficulties with the home’s air conditioning system. Repairs were attempted, but no effort was made to change the capacity of the air conditioning unit.

If she meets the "prima facie claim," then the defendant MMLP will have the burden that the actions taken against Girly were for a legal reason. If MMLP can meet this burden, the burden then shifts back to Girly to prove that the reason MMLP gave is a pretext (or coverup) for discrimination. (See Chapter 21, p.454) 1. Sexual Discrimination: Does Girly have a via claim for intentional sexual discrimination, that is that she is being treated differently based on her gender? Reference specific facts from the case and apply them to the law to reach your final opinion. 2.
