Brown v. City of Jacksonville, et al, No. 12-1730 (8th Cir. 2013)
Annotate this CasePlaintiff sued the City and her supervisors, claiming that the City's reasons for terminating her were pretextual. The district court granted defendants' motion for summary judgment on all of plaintiff's seven claims. The court affirmed the judgment because there was no evidence or reasonable inference that the City's reasons for terminating plaintiff's employment for failure in performance of her duties were pretextual.
Court Description: Civil case - Employment discrimination. There was no evidence that the legitimate, non-discriminatory grounds stated for plaintiff's termination were pretexts for age discrimination, and the district court did not err in granting the defendants' motion for summary judgment; plaintiff failed to make a prima facie case of Family and Medical Leave Act discrimination under either the direct evidence or McDonnell Douglas indirect evidence standards as she failed to show a causal connection between her actions and her termination; while plaintiff made a prima facie case of Title VII retaliation, the defendants provided legitimate, non-retaliatory reasons for her discharge, which plaintiff failed to show were pretexts.
