How courts have described this case

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

• holding that “the ADEA provides no basis for individual liability for supervisory employees.”
• holding that plaintiffs are not required to satisfy subjective criteria to prove their qualifications for purposes of the prima facie case, but that the issue of subjective qualifications is dealt with at later stages of the analysis
• stating that “supervisors and managers are not considered employers under the Texas Labor Code” and cannot be held liable for discrimination
• observing that “other circuits have concluded that a prima facie case is established once the plaintiff demonstrates that objective employment qualifications have been met” and agreeing with that conclusion
• noting that neither Title VII, nor the ADEA, apply to individual employees
• stating that while courts should consider objective qualifications at the first step of the McDonnell Douglas framework, courts should consider subjective • criteria only at the second and third steps of the analysis to avoid collapsing the entire analysis into a single initial step
