Mizell v. Miami-Dade County
17 Fla. L. Weekly Fed. D1190a (S.D. Fla. October 22, 2004)
The appellant (a police officer) was investigated for violating police policy and terminated. Although he appealed the decision through the arbitration, when it was affirmed, he filed charges with the EEOC for disparate treatment discrimination. Summary judgment was granted because the court distinguished the appellants actions from the similarly situated comparators that he offered for evidence; therefore, his prima facie case failed; In addition, even if the court assumed that the appellant met his prima facie burden, he did not put forth any evidence to prove that the proffered reasons for termination were pretextual.
