   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  06-2107
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock   
   [PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Hansen and Smith, Circuit Judges]
Civil Case - Age Discrimination. District court's grant of summary judgment to employer is affirmed. Employer's voluntary early retirement incentive plan, in which employee did not elect to participate, was not coercive nor evidence of age discrimination and fell within the safe harbor provision. Proffered evidence did not constitute direct evidence of age discrimination. Because employee was replaced by older employee, employee did not make a prima facie case of age discrimination and evidence did not support notion that replacement was merely to gain tactical advantage in any future litigation.
