United States Eighth Circuit

In an Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) case, summary judgment for defendant-employer is affirmed over claims that the district court erred in finding that: 1) defendant's voluntary severance incentive plan (VSIP) could not be considered as evidence of age discrimination; 2) no direct evidence of age discrimination; and 3) plaintiff failed to show a prima facie case of age discrimination because he was not replaced by a younger employee.
