How courts have described this case

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

  • remarking that a four-month period may be close enough to make a prima facie showing of causation but a twenty-month period was not
  • finding that a two-year separation between participation in a protected activity and an alleged adverse employment action insufficient to support an inference of causation
  • finding that a two-year gap, combined with plaintiff’s assertion that he was treated differently from other appraisers in his office, was insufficient to present “circumstantial evidence sufficient to establish causation”
  • dismissing ADA claim brought against the United States Army Corps of Engineers, a federal government employer
  • finding no dispute of material fact because the Defendant presented evidence that the audit was “part of a non-retaliatory district-wide audit of all employees who, like Washburn, worked from home”
  • “Title VII does not proscribe discrimination on the basis of disability.”
