How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that a plaintiff’s “naked opinion, without more, is not enough” to prove her Title VII claims
- holding evidence showing that treatment was “arbitrary” was insufficient where “it [did] not reflect any intent to discriminate on the basis of age”
- stating that an employee’s own naked opinion, without anything more, is not enough to establish a prima facie case of discrimination
- finding that the plaintiff’s “own naked opinion, without more” is not enough to establish a prima facie case, and that “conclusory assertions” about the employer’s “state of mind and motivation are in dispute are not enough to withstand summary judgment.”
- plaintiffs own opinions and conclusory allegations do not have sufficient “probative force to reflect a genuine issue of material fact”
- “Goldberg’s own naked opinion, without more, is not enough to establish a prima facie case of age discrimination.”
