Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that a comment made nearly a year before the adverse employment decision that appeared unrelated to the decision was a stray remark
- concluding that while the vitality of the stray remarks doctrine was questioned post -Reeves, the doctrine remained intact \at least where the plaintiff has failed to produce substantial [circumstantial] evidence\
- noting that the third step of the McDonnell Douglas framework requires “the plaintiff [to] produce substantial evidence of pretext”
- “[A]n employee’s subjective belief of discrimination alone is not sufficient to warrant judicial relief.”
- Rodriguez was appealed after summary judgment rather than after trial.
- discussing the “overwhelming evidence supporting the school board’s legitimate justification”
