Ostroff v. Employment Exchange Inc‪.‬

Ostroff brought this suit against Employment Exchange, Inc. (""EEI""), an employment agency, and its individual owners for refusal to refer her to a potential employer because of her sex. Judgment was rendered for defendants following a court trial. The district court found that Ostroff called EEI about an advertised position of executive secretary with the Washington State School District Association (""WSSDA""), was treated curtly, and, before any inquiry was made about her qualifications for the position, was told the job was already filled. Later that day, her husband phoned EEI and was told the job was still open and was invited to apply. These factual findings are not clearly erroneous. McLean v. Phillips-Ramsey, Inc., 624 F.2d 70, 71 (9th Cir. 1980) (per curiam).
