Where a contract attorney for a legal staffing company appealed the dismissal of claims against the company that included harassment and discrimination, the judgment is affirmed in part because the plaintiff failed to establish a prima facie case of race discrimination, her §1981 claim failed as a matter of law, and she was unable to state claims for defamation, malicious prosecution, or other willful, wanton or malicious conduct to show the negligent infliction of emotional distress, but the district court erred in granting summary judgment to a co-worker defendant on a battery claim because there was a genuine issue of material fact, so the matter is vacated and remanded in part.
