    ” Id. The movant bears the burden of “identifying those portions of the record it believes ‘demonstrate the absence of a genuine issue of material fact.'” White v. Wash. NursingFacility, 206 F.Supp.3d 137, 143 (D.D.C. 2016) (quoting Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 322 (1986)). Once the movant has made an “adequate showing that a fact cannot be disputed, the burden then shifts to the party opposing summary judgment to ‘set forth specific facts showing that there is a genuine issue for trial.'” Id.

  2. Chandler v. Gruenberg

    266 F. Supp. 3d 355 (D.D.C. 2017)   Cited 1 times

    Where, as here, the record contains no direct evidence of retaliation, under the McDonnell Douglas burden-shifting framework, a plaintiff must establish a prima facie case of retaliation in order to succeed on a retaliation claim. SeeWhite v. Washington Nursing Facility , 206 F.Supp.3d 137, 144 (D.D.C. 2016) ; see alsoMcDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Green , 411 U.S. 792, 93 S.Ct. 1817, 36 L.Ed.2d 668 (1973). To do so, Chandler must show: (1) that she engaged in statutorily protected activity; (2) that the employer took a materially adverse action such that the action could well dissuade a reasonable employee from making or supporting a charge of discrimination; and (3) that there existed a causal link between the two.
