Description
Order Marion Bojda, 52 years old, was permanently laid off from his job of 12 years as a proofreader by his employer, defendant
Black Dot Graphics, Inc., when their plant closed. Plaintiff filed suit under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA),
29 U.S.C. §§ 621 et seq,2 on the basis that defendant retained two proofreaders, transferring them
to a different site, and both were under 40 years of age. The district court entered summary judgment in favor of defendant,
finding that plaintiff failed to raise a genuine issue of material fact on the question of whether defendant's age-neutral
reason for terminating plaintiff was pretextual. See Texas Dept. of Community Affairs v. Burdine, 450 U.S. 248, 256 (1981);
McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Green, 411 U.S. 792 (1973). See also Kephart v. Institute of Gas Technology, 630 F.2d 1217, 1219
(7th Cir. 1980) (Title VII racial discrimination analysis extended to age cases), cert. denied, 450 U.S. 959 (1981). Our review of an order granting summary judgment is de novo. Lohorn v. Michal, 913 F.2d 327 (7th Cir. 1990). To uphold a
grant of summary judgment, we view the record and all inferences drawn from it in a light most favorable to plaintiff, as
the party opposing the motion. Id. Summary judgment is only proper where no genuine issues of material fact remain and the
moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(c).
