ON APPEAL FROM THE 

UNITED STATES DISTRICT 

COURT FOR THE WESTERN 

DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN

BEFORE: MERRITT, GIBBONS, and SUTTON, Circuit Judges.

JULIA SMITH GIBBONS, Circuit Judge. Plaintiff-appellant Jean Davis brought age 

discrimination and retaliation claims against her former employer, L-3 Communications, Combat 

Propulsion Systems (L-3), based, respectively, on her termination during a reduction in force and 

L-3’s subsequent failure to rehire her. Davis appeals the district court’s grant of summary 

judgment to L-3 on her retaliation claim, arguing she established a prima facie case of retaliation 

under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act.

After carefully reviewing the record, the applicable law, and the parties’ briefs, we find 

that the district court’s opinion correctly sets out the facts and the governing law. Because this 

court’s issuance of a full opinion would serve no jurisprudential purpose and would be 

duplicative, we affirm on the basis of the district court’s well-reasoned order of June 22, 2015.
