Pailes v. HSBC Mortg. Servs., Inc.

How courts have described this case

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

• observing that an intervening sexual assault claim against the plaintiff “undercut” plaintiff’s attempt to use temporal proximity as indicia of causation
• refusing to find causation for a Title VII retaliation claim when the plaintiff was “fired approximately two months after he sent his complaints to [his supervisors]” but there were other non-retaliatory grounds for termination
• “Such temporal proximity alone, however, does not support an inference of non-retaliatory discrimination, particularly where, as here, an employee’s discharge is readily explainable on non-retaliatory 36 grounds that have not been shown to be pretextual.” (citations omitted)
