[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.
