Immormino v. Lake Hosp. Sys., Inc. – Aug. 2015 (Summary)

ADEA/AGE DISCRIMINATION

Immormino v. Lake Hosp. Sys., Inc., No. 1:13CV1818 (N.D. Ohio Aug. 31, 2015)

The United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division, granted summary judgment in favor of a hospital on ADEA and state age discrimination claims brought by two nurses.

Although the district court noted both nurses had pleaded a prima facie case for age discrimination, the court held neither of the nurses was able to show that the hospital’s legitimate, nondiscriminatory reasons for firing the nurses – falsification of medical records – were pretextual.
