Rena Anne RAMNARINE, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. RAINBOW CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTER, INC.; Rainbow Academy, Inc.; Kim T. Mitchell, LLC; Kim Terese Mitchell, Defendants - Appellees.
Rena Anne Ramnarine appeals the district court's order granting summary judgment to Defendants on her claims under the antiretaliation provision of the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C. § 215(a)(3) (2012). The district court noted that Ramnarine hedged as to whether she could teach for the entirety of the upcoming school year and concluded that Ramnarine had not established that her protected activity caused her termination or that Defendants’ proffered reason was pretextual. See Ray v. Int'l Paper Co., 909 F.3d 661, 669 (4th Cir. 2018) (providing standard); Darveau v. Detecon, Inc., 515 F.3d 334, 340, 342-43 (4th Cir. 2008) (same). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Ramnarine v. Rainbow Child Dev. Ctr., No. 8:17-cv-02262-RWT (D. Md. July 26, 2018). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
