Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[A] district court is “not required to defer or make reference to the EEOC determination” in its opinion deciding summary judgment and therefore, is not required to find the determination creates an issue of material fact. See Kincaid v. Bd. of Trs., 188 Fed.Appx. 810, 817 (11th Cir.2006) (citing Moore v. Devine, 767 F.2d 1541, 1549-51 (11th Cir.1985), modified on reh’g, 780 F.2d 1559, 1560 (11th Cir.1986)). It is the Court’s, not the EEOC investigator’s, duty to determine whether issues of material fact exist. Walker, 53 F.3d at 1554-55 ; Williams v. Ala. Indus. Dev’t Tr’g, 146 F.Supp.2d 1214, 1224 (M.D.Ala.2001). As a result, an EEOC determination “letter is suitable for framing but does not create an issue of fact.” Williams, 146 F.Supp.2d at 1224 ; see also Coleman v. Quaker Oats Co., 232 F.3d 1271, 1283 (9th Cir.2000) (“Nor does the EEOC reasonable cause determination create a genuine issue of material fact.”).”
