United States First Circuit


PATTEN v. WAL-MART STORES EAST, INC., 01-2512

Supervisors' mentioning of a disability in the context of an adverse employment action cannot, without more, constitute direct evidence of discrimination. Admission of a right-to-sue letter from the Maine Human Rights Commission would have been more prejudicial than probative.
