How courts have described this case

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

  • explaining that a court’s favor toward the non-moving party does not extend to inferences supported by only speculation or conjecture
  • affirming judgment against plaintiff because he failed to show that he was treated less favorably than similarly situation individuals
  • finding gap of three and a half to five months between complaints and termination too lengthy to support inference of retaliation
  • discussing Coleman concurrence and applying a more streamlined, collapsed version of the direct/indirect tests
  • “[T]he line between circumstantial evidence under the direct method and indirect evidence of discrimination or retaliation under the burden-shifting approach has been blurred by the gradual integration of these methodologies.”
  • inferences that are supported only by speculation or conjecture will not defeat a summary judgment motion
