OPINION OF THE COURT

The district court set forth the background of this matter at length in its memorandum opinion granting appellee United Parcel Service, Inc. (“UPS”) summary judgment in this action entered on October 29, 2003. Adam Andy brought this action alleging age discrimination in his termination in violation of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act and the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act. In its opinion the district court held that Andy, who was 52 years old when he was terminated and was replaced by a person seven years *671 younger, had made out a prima facie case of age discrimination. See Sempier v. Johnson & Higgins, 45 F.3d 724, 728 (3d Cir. 1995). The court further held, however, that UPS had proffered a legitimate non-discriminatory motive for the termination and that Andy failed to carry his burden of showing that UPS’s proffered legitimate reason was fabricated and that its action more likely than not was motivated by discriminatory animus.

The district court had jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1331 and 28 U.S.C. § 1367. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and exercise plenary review on this appeal. See Kelly v. Drexel Univ., 94 F.3d 102, 104 (3d Cir. 1996).

We have very little to add to what the district court said but we emphasize that evidence that an employee did not engage in misconduct, though in some circumstances sufficient to cast doubt on the employer’s claim to have terminated the employee by reason of that conduct, in the circumstances here casts no doubt on the perception of the decision maker, which is “what matters.” Billet v. CIGNA Corp., 940 F.2d 812, 825 (3d Cir. 1991).

The order for summary judgment entered October 29, 2003, will be affirmed.
