How courts have described this case

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

• ruling that employee’s termination approximately one month after exercising her rights to medical leave protected under FMLA was sufficient in temporal proximity to establish causal connection
• collecting Second Circuit cases granting summary judgment at McDonnell Douglas step three
• proof of pretext lacking where plaintiff offered no evidence that supervisor who terminated plaintiff was aware of younger employees’ tardiness and chose to ignore it
• “[T]he closer a remark’s relation to the allegedly discriminatory behavior is, the more probative that remark will be.”
• plaintiff’s attempt to prove the rationale underlying termination was pretextual was insufficient because the “[p]laintiff [] submitted only her self-serving testimony[,] [which] is insufficient for the purposes of summary judgment”
