District Court, S.D. New York
Chorbajian v. Goldhirsch Group, Inc., 814 F. Supp. 333 (1992)
1992 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 20757; 1992 WL 455479

Chorbajian v. Goldhirsch Group, Inc.

Opinion

MEMORANDUM ORDER

VINCENT L. BRODERICK, District Judge.

In this age discrimination case, plaintiff, over 40, was hired and quickly fired and replaced by younger employees; her dismissal was based on a single incident of submis *334 sion of an expense item for dining with a person involved in the same industry and known to plaintiffs employer to be someone she planned to see, and who was characterized on plaintiffs expense report by the name of her former employer.

Plaintiffs supervisor never asked plaintiff for any information about the business basis for the meeting or the reasons for the way the form was filled out before recommending dismissal.

I find sufficient evidence of discrimination and of possible pretextual dismissal to create genuine issues of material fact and therefore deny defendant’s motion for summary judgment.

SO ORDERED.
