Case: Discrimination/Disparate Treatment (D. Nev.)

A Nevada federal district court granted summary judgment to Nevada Gold Mines, LLC on claims of age discrimination under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act and state law brought by a 59-year-old mechanic who was reassigned from one mine location to another, finding that the employer’s proffered reason for the reassignment—consolidation of maintenance operations—was legitimate and non-discriminatory, and the mechanic failed to present specific and substantial evidence that this reason was pretext for age discrimination.
