Heading: Megivern’s FMLA and ERISA Interference Claims

Text: Megivern argues that because Glacier Hills terminated her employment shortly after she met with the human resources department to discuss short-term disability benefits and FMLA leave, Glacier Hills unlawfully interfered with the exercise of rights and benefits due her under the FMLA and ERISA. As with Megivern’s single-motive sex discrimination claims, we apply the McDonnell Douglas burden-shifting framework because Megivern presents indirect evidence of discrimination. Donald, 667 F.3d at 762; Humphreys, 966 F.2d at 1043. Because Megivern is unable to prove pretext under the McDonnell Douglas burden-shifting framework, she cannot succeed on either claim. We affirm the district court’s grant of summary judgment on these claims.
