Annotate this CasePlaintiffs sued defendant, their former employer, for age discrimination in violation of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act ("ADEA"), 29 U.S.C. 623(a), and the Minnesota Human Rights Act ("MHRA"), Chapter 363A. At issue was whether the district court properly granted summary judgment for defendant. The court affirmed summary judgment and held that defendant articulated legitimate non-discriminatory grounds for plaintiffs' terminations and plaintiffs failed to show that the reasons were pretexts for age discrimination because defendant maintained a consistent explanation for the termination-shifting client needs and an anticipated reduction in workload and profitability.
