 Holding statements: (A) holding that trial courts jury charge did not amount to reversible error given that plaintiff failed to show she was prejudiced by inapplicable portion of trial courts charge (B) holding that although portion of trial courts jury charge was inapplicable any error in providing it was harmless in light of the fact that charge considered as a whole was not likely to confuse or mislead the jury (C) holding appellate courts must consider the trial courts jury charge as a whole (D) holding that because trial court actually gave part of a jury charge that appellant claimed was improperly omitted and because remainder of courts charge adequately defined one of the legal terms at issue the courts jury charge taken as a whole was not misleading and did not constitute reversible error (E) holding that trial court did not err in refusing to give charge because plaintiff failed to demonstrate that his requested charge was tailored to the evidence

PROBLEM: 526 (6th Cir.2006) (explaining that “retire” is not synonymous with “age,” and holding that without more, employer’s statement that' plaintiff should “retire and make everybody happy” was not direct evidence of age discrimination); Erickson v. Farmland Indus., Inc., 271 y attitude during the 2010 discussion, Dunn has failed to show a specific link between the Board’s attitude and its decision to nonrenew his contract. After all, not only was there an almost two-year gap between the Board’s 2010 discussion and the 2012 nonrenewal, but the Board rehired Dunn twice during this period despite him being at least sixty years old. Given these circumstances, any link between the 2010 discussion and the 2012 nonrenewal is too attenuated to constitute direct evidence. See Bone, 686 F.3d at 954 (<HOLDING>); Haigh v. Gelita USA, Inc., 632 F.3d 464, 470 
 Holding statements: (A) holding that in order to raise prejudicial comments of trial court on appeal defendant must object to comments when made and move for a mistrial (B) holding that a supervisors repeated comments to an employee that the supervisor wanted to have sex with the employees fifteenyearold daughter were extremely severe because the comments were significantly more offensive than the typical crass comments we have found to be insufficient to constitute harassment in other cases (C) holding that comments relating to age made some three to fifteen or more years prior to plaintiffs discharge were not relevant to show that he was fired because of his age (D) holding that comments made at least four months before the adverse employment action were not connected to the decisionmaking process and thus were not direct evidence of age discrimination (E) holding that supervisors reactions to comments did not constitute direct evidence of age discrimination where comments were made six months prior to plaintiffs discharge and were unconnected to the discharge decision

SOLUTION: (E)

PROBLEM: raised, the purported defect in the notice of foreclosure is insufficient to withstand summary judgment. Under § 44-14-162.2, a secured creditor must provide the debtor with notice of a foreclosure sale that, in relevant part, “shall be in writing [and] shall include the name, address, and telephone number of the individual or entity who shall have full authority to negotiate, amend, and modify all terms of the mortgage with the debtorf.]” O.C.G.A. § 44-14-162.2(a). Georgia courts have concluded that substantial compliance with this statute’s notice provision is sufficient. See TKW Partners, LLC v. Archer Capital Fund, L.P., 302 Ga.App. 443, 446, 691 S.E.2d 300 (Ga.Ct.App.2010). See also Stowers v. Branch Banking & Trust Co., 317 Ga.App. 893, 895, 731 S.E.2d 367 (Ga.Ct.App.2012) (<HOLDING>). Viewing the facts in the light most favorable 
 Holding statements: (A) holding that notice to the attorney of record constitutes notice to the petitioner (B) recognizing that the applicant received notice from the plea form even though such notice was not required (C) holding that a defendant is not entitled to relief from default judgment because notice to an attorney of filing of motions and orders is constructive notice to the client even when the client did not have actual notice (D) holding that the court lacked jurisdiction to consider an award of sanctions entered against attorney because the notice of appeal did not provide that attorney was appealing in his own name (E) holding that notice of foreclosure listing name address and phone number of attorney rather than the lender was sufficient under  44141622 even though the attorney did not have full authority to negotiate amend and modify the loan and the notice listed no entity or individual with such authority
