Estrada v. Cypress Semiconductor (Minnesota) Inc.

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• affirming summary judgment in the employer’s favor on an FMLA interference claim because the employer sufficiently established that it would have terminated the employee notwithstanding her exercising her FMLA rights
• upholding summary judgment in favor of the employer in an FMLA lawsuit where the employer provided a valid alternative rationale for the termination, though different from the rationale given to the employee at the time of termination
• “Because an employee ‘cannot claim protection from the FMLA for disciplinary action . . . as a result of absences that are not attributable to [her] serious health conditions,’ sufficient unexcused absences may justify her discharge.” (alterations in original)
