Ameen v. Amphenol Printed Circuits, Inc., No. 14-1086 (1st Cir. 2015)
Annotate this CasePlaintiff was fired from his place of employment after his employer (Defendant) learned that Plaintiff had consistently falsified his time cards over the course of several years, costing the company “1.25 hours of labor per week.” Plaintiff filed suit, alleging that Defendant had terminated him in retaliation for taking family leave in violation of the Family and Medical Leave Act. The district court granted summary judgment for Defendant. The First Circuit affirmed, holding that because Plaintiff did not offer evidence of retaliatory animus sufficient to raise a disputed question of fact or to defeat Defendant’s right to judgment as a matter of law, Plaintiff did not meet his burden of proving that Defendant’s stated reason for his termination was a pretext.
