Springer v. Durflinger

How courts have described this case

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

• “[A]s we have stated on many occasions, ‘timing alone is insufficient to establish a genuine issue of material fact to support a retaliation claim.’”
• plaintiffs cannot survive summary judgment when “all [they] have to go on is a collective hunch’’
• “[A]ll the plaintiffs have to go on is a collective hunch about the defendant’s motives, which in itself will not survive a motion for summary judgment.”
• because summary judgment is the “put up or shut up” moment in the lawsuit, a mere “hunch about the defendant’s motives” is insufficient to survive at this stage
• “[W]hen challenges to witness’ credibility are all that a plaintiff relies on, and he has shown no independent facts—no proof—to support his claims, summary judgment in favor of the defendant is proper”
• summary judgment “is the put up or shut up moment in a lawsuit”
