On December 8, 2015, the Fifth Circuit affirmed the District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi’s order of summary judgment in favor of Eka Chemicals, Inc. The District Court’s order dismissed the Plaintiff’s employment discrimination action in which he alleged Eka Chemicals terminated his employment on the basis of his age in violation of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. The District Court held that the Plaintiff failed to prove that Eka Chemicals’ legitimate, nondiscriminatory reasons for terminating him were pretext for discrimination, and affirmed its holding on Plaintiff’s Motion for Reconsideration. On appeal, the Fifth Circuit affirmed the District Court’s ruling, holding that the Plaintiff failed to prove that the Plaintiff’s age was the “but-for” cause for his termination.
