U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 10-1037 U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis [PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Riley, Melloy and Colloton, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - employment discrimination. Plaintiff failed to establish that defendant's RIF disparately impacted employees forty and over as analysis of the proper pool of employees showed the impact was only in the 4-5% range and such an impact is not sufficiently substantial to create an inference that plaintiff and the other terminated employees were terminated because of their age; plaintiff's disparate treatment claim failed as he did not establish that his age was the "but-for"cause of the employment decisions; the court cannot determine how Missouri courts would apply the fairly recent "contributing factor" standard to plaintiff's Missouri Human Rights Act, and that claim should be dismissed without prejudice.
