Thomsen

MEMORANDUM ***

Lavon Thomsen filed suit in the United States District Court for Nevada alleging inter alia that R Supply Co., Inc. (“R Supply”) violated the Equal Pay Act, 29 U.S.C. § 206 (d)(1), and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”), 29 U.S.C. § 621 et seq., when it moved her from outside salesperson to inside salesperson, hired a younger man to be the outside salesperson, and subsequently terminated her employment. 1 The district court granted summary judgment in favor of R Supply concluding that Thomsen had not made a prima facie showing of a violation of the Equal Pay Act and had failed to rebut R Supply’s nondiscriminatory reason for its employment decisions.

Thomsen has filed a timely appeal challenging only the grants of summary judgment on her Equal Pay Act claim and on her claim of age discrimination under ADEA.
