United States Third Circuit

Summary judgment for defendant-employer in an age discrimination suit is reversed in part as to claims brought under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) and state law where plaintiff showed sufficient implausibilities and inconsistencies in defendant's primary rationales for his layoff to avoid summary judgment, and a rational factfinder could dismiss secondary reasons as pretextual.
