Crimes v. Phelps Dodge Corp.

230 F. App'x 765

Opinion

MEMORANDUM

**

Crimes established prima facie cases of both age discrimination and retaliation.¹ But his prima facie cases were rebutted by Phelps Dodge, and Crimes has not presented enough evidence that a reasonable fact finder could conclude either: (a) that “the alleged reason for [the] discharge was false”, or (b) that “the true reason for [the] discharge was a discriminatory one.”² Therefore, summary judgment in favor of Phelps Dodge was appropriate.³

AFFIRMED.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
