U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - Cape Girardeau
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Loken and Murphy, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Family and Medical Leave Act. As plaintiff failed to produce
direct evidence of an illegal motive for her termination, the McDonnell
Douglas burden-shifting framework applied to her claims; assuming she made
a prima facie case of illegal discrimination based on the exercise of her
FMLA rights, plaintiff failed to show the legitimate ground defendant
offered for her termination was a pretext for retaliation.
