1Opinion of the Court
Opinion for the Court filed by Circuit Judge GRIFFITH.
GRIFFITH, Circuit Judge:
Judith Barnett appeals the district court’s grant of summary judgment against her claims that she was fired from her work because of her age and sex. The district court credited the defense of Barnett’s employer that she was let go during a restructuring of the firm only because her expertise was not a good fit with the firm’s new business focus. Viewing the facts in the light most favorable to Barnett, we conclude that a reasonable jury could find her employer’s defense to be pretext for discrimination, and reverse.
