Text: 56 In his deposition, Ramírez testified that Hernández said that [t]hose old guys are in the `twilight zone.' As the district court pointed out, however, Ramírez has not explained when, or in what context, he heard the statement. Moreover, as the district court also noted, [w]hile Mr. Oliver [also] claims that Mr. Hernández stated that `these people are in the twilight zone' after meetings with unnamed employees, notably, Mr. Oliver's quote makes no reference to age. To the contrary, Oliver interpreted the twilight zone comment as referring to people who did not meet their sales quotas. More importantly, as we have already noted, Ramírez cites no evidence on appeal to demonstrate that Hernández was involved in the decision to terminate him. See id.
