J. Trauger grants the restaurant defendants' motion for summary judgment in this lawsuit brought by a former employee alleging age discrimination in connection with his termination. The former employee, who worked as a general manager, fails to show that his termination was due to his age. The defendants cited "his restaurant's culture, as evidenced by the complaints," and he does not establish that the reason was pretext for discrimination.

J. Norton denies Boeing's motion to dismiss an age discrimination suit. The employee, who is over the age of 40, says a supervisor lowered his evaluations after the employee reported his antagonistic behavior. The employee says the supervisor also altered his job title in order include him in a list of workforce reduction layoffs. Allegations the supervisor changed the employee's job title, that the only other people laid off were 53 and 55, and that the employee was replaced with younger employees are sufficient to make a plausible claim for age discrimination.

J. Fallon grants a request by the Orleans Parish sheriff and her director of employment, dismissing a hostile workplace claim by a human resources staffer who was fired after she was absent for several weeks due to emergency surgery and hospitalization required to protect herself and her newborn child. The manager’s actions, though dubious, did not rise to the level of “objectively offensive harassment.” Without more, the fired staffer’s claims cannot survive. The litigant’s claims against the sheriff remain.

J. Nagala denies, in part, the employer's motion for summary judgment, ruling the 0.5% pay increase given to the black employee, a raise significantly less than the standard 3% raise, qualifies as an adverse employment action and can establish a prima facie case for discrimination, given that his quantitative performance numbers did not warrant a negative performance review. However, the isolated incidents involving a coworker who played the black employee a rap song with the n-word and claimed he resembled a rapist featured on the news are insufficient to support the employee's hostile work environment claims.

J. Currault denies a request by a refinery to dismiss a race and gender workplace discrimination complaint by a Black woman who was fired from the plant. The refinery unsuccessfully argued that the woman’s claims are time-barred because she filed suit 18 days after a 300-day deadline for filing an EEOC charge. Based on the undisputed evidence, the ruling cannot establish that the woman failed to timely deliver her EEOC charge. In addition, the fired employee provided factual information regarding her complaints about women having inadequate facilities, e.g. a shower and restroom, as compared to men.

J. Fleming grants the employer's motion for summary judgment, ruling the pregnant employee's deposition testimony about the reasons for her termination are entirely self-serving and unsupported by the record. Additionally, the male employees she uses as comparators were neither on their probationary periods when they were disciplined nor were they treated differently for similar use of medical leave.
