Description
Opinion EN BANC COFFIN, Circuit Judge. This case has a long history. On May 3, 1982, we held that plaintiff could not prevail in her claim of employment discrimination based on a 5 feet 6 inches height requirement. Although the height requirement would, in other contexts, have a disparate impact on women, we determined that the height requirement could have had no such impact in this case because only women were in competition for the job. Costa v. Markey (Costa I), 677 F.2d 158 (1st Cir. 1982).
