Marcus v. Phelps Dodge Corp.
Marcus v. Phelps Dodge Corp.
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Marcus failed to establish a genuine issue of fact as to whether his claimed obsessive compulsive disorder “substantially limits” or was so severe as to substantially impair “one or more major life activities.”
Marcus failed to establish a genuine issue of fact as to whether his discharge during the RIF was a pretext for religious discrimination. High officials at the company made anti-Semitic remarks. By analogy to Chuang v. University of California,
Marcus failed to establish a genuine issue of fact regarding his retaliation claim, because the supervisor who RIFed Marcus also asked Marcus to create the diversity plan, developing the plan was not an activity protected by the statute from retaliation, and there was no evidence to show a retaliatory animus. Marcus failed to establish a genuine issue of fact as to whether putting his name on the RIF list was pretextual. Marcus also failed to establish a genuine issue of fact as to his breach of contract claim.
AFFIRMED.
