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 conversation held six months before plaintiff was terminated was not “proximate in time or related to [the] termination”
- concluding the same pretext analysis applies to FMLA claims as to ADA claims
- collecting cases where comments made four months and six months prior to the challenged employment decision were not direct evidence of discrimination
- finding a comment made seven months before the employee’s termination insufficient to satisfy this prong
- finding plaintiff failed to demonstrate pretext where he did not dispute two of five reasons articulated by employer
- finding that a supervisor’s remarks about a former employee with PTSD being “unstable” are not direct evidence of disability discrimination where the former employee failed to prove all elements of the four-part test and the court would have had to make an inference regarding causation
