United States Fifth Circuit

In an action claiming that defendant violated the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), by declining to hire plaintiff when he applied for a Staff Legal Counsel position, summary judgment for defendant is affirmed where plaintiff failed as a matter of law to show that he was clearly more qualified than the candidate hired in order to establish pretext and had not proffered any direct evidence of discrimination.
