On February 7, 2022, the Sixth Circuit affirmed summary judgment in a pair of employment cases. Russell v. Three Pillars, 21-1481 (6th Cir. 2022); Pio v. Benteler Automotive Corp., 21-1231 (6th Cir. 2022). In each of the cases, the Court concluded that the plaintiff had failed to establish a prima facie case of discrimination, which is necessary in most cases to bring an employment discrimination claim to trial.
