Jackson v. EJB Facilities Services, Inc.

MEMORANDUM **

Plaintiff Shirley Jackson appeals the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of Defendants EJB Facilities Services, Inc. (“EJB”), and Johnson Controls/IAP (“IAP”).

City of Oakland, 47 F.3d 1522, 1527 (9th Cir.1995). There is no causal link between Ms. Jackson’s protected conduct and IAP’s and EJB’s allegedly retaliatory employment actions. See Raad v. Fairbanks N. Star Borough Sch. Dist., 323 F.3d 1185, 1196-97 (9th Cir.2003). Nor does the record raise a genuine issue of material fact suggesting that Ms. Jackson was qualified for the position she sought, or that she was subject to adverse employment action, as is required to make out a prima facie disparate treatment claim.
