Janis E. Meredith v. Beech Aircraft Corporation, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Amicus Curiae

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that proof of lawsuit against employer and subsequent termination of employee, without more, did not demonstrate causal connection
• holding that defendant’s assertions that plaintiff was not promoted because she lacked the interpersonal, leadership, and communication skills necessary for the position were legitimate, non-discriminatory reasons for the decision
• holding that a satisfactory evaluation, without explanation why it might be considered negative evaluation, and without any evidence of adverse action relating to the evaluation, was not actionable adverse employment action
• holding that judicial notice would be improper because fact that a candidate is most qualified for position is a disputed fact that must be established through the presentation of evidence, and was not a “universal truth”
• noting that claims dismissed with leave to amend which are 19 not re-alleged in an amended pleading may be “considered waived if not repled.”
• finding that plaintiff failed to raise inference that a “meets expectations” rating amounted to a negative evaluation
