Defendant moved for summary judgment on plaintiff’s employment discrimination and FMLA retaliation complaint. Plaintiff alleged that defendant’s reasons for terminating him were a pretext for age and sex discrimination and further claimed that defendant also terminated him for taking FMLA leave.
Where plaintiff’s evidence of pretext was based solely on non-comparator employees and an insufficient temporal proximity, his discrimination claims failed, but there was a sufficient temporal proximity for his FMLA retaliation claim where he was terminated one day after he announced his intention to take FMLA leave and there was record evidence that defendant accelerated the termination date after learning of plaintiff’s leave.
Defendant’s motion to dismiss granted in part and denied in part.
