How courts have described this case

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

• holding that summary judgment was appropriate even where the 5 decision-maker’s reason is \foolish or trivial or even baseless\ (internal quotation marks omitted)
• holding that plaintiff’s Title VII claim failed because she was unable to show that employer’s reason for termination was pretextual
• Recognizing that “in some cases, causation can be inferred from timing alone where an adverse employment action follows on the heels of protected activity.”
• holding that a year-and-a-half delay between protected activity and adverse 6 employment action, on its own, does not prove causation
• holding that “[a] nearly 18-month lapse between protected activity and an adverse employment action is simply too long, by itself, to give rise to an inference of causation”
• holding that a year-long gap between a protected activity and an adverse 4 employment action is “simply too long” to “give rise to an inference of causation”
