  • reversing district court's summary judgment on retaliation claim, in part because of evidence that employer treated plaintiff differently from other employees
  • reversing grant of summary judgment based, in part, on the fact that the defendant decided to terminate the plaintiff “days after” he engaged in protected activity but “some two and a half months after the bulk of the accumulated misconduct [listed as the reason for the termination] occurred”
  • \The plaintiff [in a retaliation case] must demonstrate that he or she took part in protected conduct ... and that there exists a causal nexus between the protected conduct and the adverse action.\
