Case: Discrimination/Discharge (2d Cir.)

A federal district court in New York properly granted summary judgment to Consolidated Edison Company of New York on an Asian employee’s claim that she was terminated because of her age and race, instead of for poor work performance. She admitted that her supervisors never made any comments about her race, she received a negative performance evaluation a year before her supervisor purportedly told her she was “too old,” and that supervisor wasn’t involved in the termination decision, the Second Circuit said.
