131764P.pdf 06/30/2014 Melissa Malloy v. United States Postal Service
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 13-1764
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Wollman and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
Civil Case - Family Medical Leave Act. District court's grant of summary
judgment to USPS on claim of discrimination under the Family Medical Leave
Act by casual employee following unexcused absences is affirmed. Malloy's
unpersuasive argument of temporal proximity combined with a collection of
challenges to agency practice and explanations do not support an inference
of impermissible motive and Malloy has not presented a submissible case of
discrimination.
