Outcome
The Eleventh Circuit reversed the district court's grant of summary judgment for MetLife and remanded the case. The appellate court held that the plaintiff established a prima facie case of age discrimination under the ADEA because he was replaced by a substantially younger person (7 years), and triable issues of fact existed regarding his qualifications and whether MetLife's stated reasons were pretextual.
