Title VII Gender Discrimination Plaintiff Failed To Produce Evidence Of Pretext
Norys I. García, a chemical engineer employed for eighteen years by Bristol Myers Squibb Company, brought a Title VII suit alleging the termination of her employment was motivated by gender discrimination and not, as the employer said, by poor performance. The district court entered summary judgment for the employer, finding no reasonable jury could conclude, in the face of the articulated reason, in plaintiff's favor. On appeal in this highly fact-based case, the 1st Circuit affirmed.
