ON APPEAL FROM THE
UNITED STATES DISTRICT
COURT FOR THE WESTERN
DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
BEFORE: MERRITT, GIBBONS, and SUTTON, Circuit Judges.
JULIA SMITH GIBBONS, Circuit Judge. Plaintiff-appellant Jean Davis brought age
discrimination and retaliation claims against her former employer, L-3 Communications, Combat
Propulsion Systems (L-3), based, respectively, on her termination during a reduction in force and
L-3’s subsequent failure to rehire her. Davis appeals the district court’s grant of summary
judgment to L-3 on her retaliation claim, arguing she established a prima facie case of retaliation
under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act.
After carefully reviewing the record, the applicable law, and the parties’ briefs, we find
that the district court’s opinion correctly sets out the facts and the governing law. Because this
court’s issuance of a full opinion would serve no jurisprudential purpose and would be
duplicative, we affirm on the basis of the district court’s well-reasoned order of June 22, 2015.
