United States Fifth Circuit

In an Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) action alleging an unlawful transfer between places of work, judgment for Defendants is affirmed in part, where an administrative unemployment proceeding was entitled to collateral estoppel effect, but reversed in part, where the ADEA's detailed administrative remedy nullified the collateral estoppel effect of the unemployment proceedings with respect to Plaintiff's retaliation claim.
