How courts have described this case

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

  • reversing, with scant analysis, trial court’s grant of defendant’s motion for judgment as a matter of law because plaintiff “surmounted this hurdle with evidence that [defendant’s] stated reasons for firing him were false coupled with his own good work rec ord.”
  • “Casarez’s complaint to the EEOC and subsequent suit are protected activity . . . .”
  • evidence of falsity of defendant’s proffered justifications sufficient to creates jury issue where defendant’s accusations of absenteeism and serious “blue-flag” railroad safety violation were contradicted by employer’s own records
