Shasby v. Amalfi Semiconductor CA6
Aurora Shasby (age 59), a five-year employee at Amalfi Semiconductor, Inc. (Amalfi, or Company), was terminated in April 2011. She sued Amalfi for age discrimination under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (Gov. Code, § 12900 et seq.; the FEHA). The court granted Amalfi’s motion for summary judgment, and Shasby appeals from the judgment entered on that order.
Shasby argues on appeal that although Amalfi claimed her termination was the result of her position being eliminated due to a reduction in force, this purported reason was a pretext: The true reason she was terminated was that the Company wanted to replace her with a newly hired 33-year-old woman. Shasby contends that she presented a triable issue of fact that she was terminated because of her age and that therefore the court erred in granting Amalfi’s summary judgment motion.
