Syllabus

On appeal from Court of Claims decision granting summary judgment to Defendant Attorney General of Ohio, the record evidence upon which a reasonable factfinder could determine that the employer's explanation of why plaintiff was not hired for a newly-created position was pretextual, where the plaintiff had been a longtime employee of the defendant in a very similar position, his interview evaluations were inconsistent with his employee evaluations performed by one of the same hiring committee members, and where members of the hiring committee repeatedly raised the topic of retirement plans to the plaintiff. Judgment reversed in part and remanded.
