United States Third Circuit
Lichtenstein v. Univ. of Pittsburgh Med. Ctr., 11-3419
In plaintiff's suit against her former employer alleging that the termination of her employment was a violation under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), district court's grant of summary judgment in favor of the employer is vacated and remanded, as genuine factual disputes exist about whether plaintiff's notice was adequate, whether her invocation of FMLA rights was a negative factor precipitating her termination and whether the employer's justification for its action was mere pretext for retaliation.
