United States DC Circuit

Summary judgment for defendant-employer in a suit alleging discrimination under Title VII and defamation brought by a former employee terminated for a purported lack of candor is reversed in part as to a determination that plaintiff failed to demonstrate a prima facie case of reverse discrimination where plaintiff raised a genuine issue of material fact concerning the legitimacy of defendant's nondiscriminatory reason for his termination.
