Bone v. G4S Youth Servs., LLC, No. 11-2901 (8th Cir. 2012)
Annotate this CaseAppellant appealed the district court's grant of summary judgment in favor of her employer, G4S Youth Services, LLC, and her supervisor, Todd Speight (Appellees), on Appellant's claims that they terminated her employment based on her race, age, and use of family medical leave. The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed, holding (1) because Appellant did not create a genuine issue of material fact as to whether G4S's legitimate, non-discriminatory reason for terminating her employment was merely a pretext for intentional race of age discrimination, the district court did not err in granting summary judgment in favor of Appellees on Appellant's race and age discrimination claims; and (2) because Appellant failed to raise a genuine issue of fact as to whether G4S retaliated against her for exercising her FMLA rights, the district court did not err in granting summary judgment on Appellant's Family and Medical Leave Act claims.
