United States DC Circuit
McFadden v. Ballard Spahr Andrews & Ingersoll, LLP, 08-7140
In an action against a law firm alleging violations of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), Title VII, the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. section 1981, and the District of Columbia Human Rights Act (DCHRA), summary judgment for defendants is affirmed in part where the district court correctly held that plaintiff produced insufficient evidence for a reasonable jury to hold pretextual defendant's proffered non-discriminatory reasons for not reassigning her and for terminating her. However, the judgment is reversed in part where there was a genuine issue of material fact as to whether plaintiff was prejudiced by the alleged interference with her FMLA rights.
