Case: Discrimination/Discharge (D. Colo.)

A Colorado federal district court granted summary judgment to the Secretary of Homeland Security on an Age Discrimination in Employment Act claim brought by an over 40-year-old transportation security officer who alleged he was terminated due to his age and replaced by a younger employee, finding that the security officer failed to present evidence that his termination was motivated by his age or that the employer’s legitimate non-discriminatory reason for termination—violations of the TSA’s anti-harassment policy and a no contact order—was pretext for age discrimination.
