Fleming v. MaxMara USA, Inc.

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that an alleged comment to the plaintiff that “one day we are going to come in and there’s going to be a rope hanging from the ceiling and guess who is going to be hanging from it” did not support a hostile work environment on its own
• finding that a racially derogatory comment uttered early in the plaintiff’s years-long tenure did not “by itself constitute an adequate basis from which to infer that the facially race-neutral conduct of which [the] plaintiff complains was racially motivated”
• “[A] plaintiffs factual disagreement with the validity of an employer’s nondiscriminatory reason for an adverse employment decision does not, by itself, create a triable issue of fact.”
• “[H]earsay that would not be admissible at trial is likewise not competent evidence on a 202.
