How courts have described this case

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

• holding that temporal proximity alone furnished insufficient evidence of causation to withstand motion for judgment as a matter of law when five months had elapsed
• holding that a five-month lapse, by itself, does not support an inference of a causal link
• holding that a five-month lapse, without other evidence of retaliation, is not close enough
• holding that gap of five months was not enough
• noting that a district court in this circuit has found that “a time lapse of up to four months has been found sufficient”
• finding that five months between protected activity and adverse action, standing alone, was insufficient to support an inference of retaliation
