United States Sixth Circuit

In a case brought by plaintiff-employee lab technician under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, grant of summary judgment in favor of defendant-employer cardiology office and dismissal of case is reversed and remanded where: 1) in addressing the plaintiff-employee's prima facie age discrimination case, the district court impermissibly made factual determinations and improperly drew inferences in favor solely of the defendant; and similarly 2) with the retaliation claim, the district court impermissibly made factual findings and did not view the evidence in the light most favorable to the plaintiff, the non-moving party.
