How courts have described this case

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

• declaring that an employment discrimination plaintiff “supplies this indispensable comparative evidence at the prima facie stage through the last prong of the McDonnell- Douglas test . . . [i]n particular, by identifying those individuals who are allegedly treated differently.
• plaintiff, who worked for firm for nineteen months, was found not to be similarly situated to fellow employee who had worked for firm for over twenty years
• summary judgment appropriate when plaintiff fails to present evidence permitting a finding that other allegedly favored employees were similarly situated
• We “have held that a plaintiff is not similarly situated to employees where their ‘work records and evaluations’ were not ‘similar.’”
• poor treatment while employed lacks sufficient connection with discharge
• “We do not mean to suggest that a Title VII plaintiff seeking to prove disparate treatment must always present evidence establishing the last prong of the McDonnell Douglas prima facie test.” But there must be “some additional evidence tending] to establish the inference of discrimination.”
