How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- finding that a police officer claiming ADA retaliation did not have enough evidence to prove that the police chief knew about the officer’s discrimination complaint before the officer was terminated
- stating that an “intervening impropriety” by the employee between the protected activity and the adverse employment action “breaks the chain of evidence and timing alone under those circumstances will not be sufficient to establish a causal relationship”
- “intervening workplace impropriety breaks the chain of causation between protected activity and retaliatory acts.”
- “Occasional insults, teasing, or episodic instances of ridicule are not enough [to create an inference of discrimination.]”
