How courts have described this case

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

  • holding that \[c]onclusory or speculative allegations\ are insufficient to establish a genuine dispute of fact
  • holding that a disciplinary discussion was not an adverse employment action because the employee maintained the same position and lost no pay
  • holding that disciplinary discussions that did not result in lost pay or positions failed to show discrimination, even if different from other employees
  • recognizing that “the continuation of the alleged adverse action after the filing of a discrimination complaint [does] not, without more, support [the plaintiff’s] prima facie burden of showing causation”
  • concluding that a “disciplinary discussion” and a low score on an employee evaluation did not constitute adverse employment actions where plaintiff failed to show that the discussion or score “affected the terms, conditions, or benefits of his employment”
  • finding that disciplinary actions did not constitute adverse employment actions where plaintiff lost no pay and maintained the same position in their wake
