Outcome
Court denied employer's motion for summary judgment, finding sufficient evidence of age discrimination to allow the case to proceed to jury trial. The EEOC presented evidence that the hired candidate was significantly less qualified and substantially younger than the rejected 53-year-old applicant, and that the employer's stated reasons for the hiring decision were pretextual.
