Meditz v. City of Newark, No. 10-2442; Third Circuit; opinion by Greenaway, U.S.C.J.; filed September 28, 2011. Before Judges Sloviter, Greenaway and Roth. On appeal from the District of New Jersey. [Sat below: Judge Martini.] DDS No. 25-8-xxxx [21 pp.]
Gregory Meditz, an attorney proceeding pro se, alleges that the residency requirement adopted by Newark for its nonuniformed work force has a disparate impact on white, non-Hispanics because Newark’s population does not reflect the racial makeup of the relevant labor market in the surrounding area. As a result, white, non-Hispanics are under-represented in Newark’s nonuniformed work force.
