U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 13-2424
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis
[PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Colloton and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Employment discrimination. With respect to plaintiff's claim
that she was fired based on her gender, assuming she made a prima facie
case of discrimination, she failed to show the employer's legitimate,
non-discriminatory job performance grounds for her discharge were a
pretext for sex discrimination; with respect to plaintiff's sex-plus-age
discrimination claim under the Minnesota Human Rights Act, plaintiff could
not establish that discriminatory intent motivated her termination since
the two male co-workers of comparable age she used to support the claim
did not engage in sufficiently similar misconduct or have a similar
disciplinary history.
