Sally J. Shellenberger v. Summit Bancorp, Inc

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that inconsistent explanations by a supervisor over why an employee was fired created a factual dispute regarding whether the supervisor acted with a retaliatory animus
• holding that temporal proximity of twenty-two days was insufficient to establish causation
• holding that in cases where “the temporal proximity is not so close as to be unduly suggestive,” the court of appeals has “recognized that ‘timing plus other evidence may be an appropriate test’”’
• holding that an employee who was terminated 10 days after engaging in protected conduct and whose boss had made negative comments about her protected conduct had put forth sufficient evidence from which a fact finder could determine the existence of a causal link
• explaining that \the timing of the alleged retaliatory action must be 'unusually suggestive' of retaliatory motive before a causal link will be inferred\
• finding that ten days between an alleged protected activity and a subsequent adverse action was sufficient to establish a causal connection between the two actions
