Shirley Mills v. First Federal Savings & Loan Association of Belvidere

How courts have described this case

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

• reiterating that \it is true that a 'nonmov-ing party's own affidavit or deposition can constitute affirmative evidence to defeat a summary judgment motion' \
• affirming summary judgment where plaintiff “brought forth no evidence that she was performing satisfactorily in the very area that gave [the employer] the most concern.”
• finding it “significant, though perhaps not dispositive” that a person to whom plaintiff attributed ageist comments was himself 55 years old, and that the other decision-makers were 55 and 70 years old
• “subjective beliefs of the plaintiff are insufficient to create a genuine issue of material fact”
• “may not be able to keep up with the regulations” is not necessarily an age-related comment
• with respect to pretext analysis, employee’s satisfactory performance in some aspects of job does not necessarily undermine employer’s explanation for termination
