(AP) — The Nebraska Supreme Court has upheld the dismissal of a racial discrimination lawsuit by a state employee who said she was offered inferior health insurance because she lives in Omaha.

Sandra Cartwright, a black woman, argued that employees living in certain Omaha and Lincoln ZIP code areas — where some 96 percent of the state’s black employees reside — were given a choice between two health insurance plans that offered inferior coverage to what employees living elsewhere in the state could get.

The state ended the practice in 2009, but said it did so for cost savings, not allegations of discrimination.

On Friday, Nebraska’s high court said Cartwright failed to show that health plans offered to those in Omaha and Lincoln were inferior to plans offered to others.
