Emily Snead v. Metropolitan Property & Casualty Insurance Company, a Delaware Corporation James McIntosh

Opinion by Judge TASHIMA; Dissent by Judge LAY

TASHIMA, Circuit Judge:

The underlying question we must decide in this employment discrimination ease arising under Oregon law is whether plaintiff Emily Snead (“Snead”) adduced sufficient evidence to survive her employer’s, Metropolitan Property and Casualty Insurance Company’s (“Met”), motion for summary judgment. We must first decide, however, the threshold question of whether this action is governed by Oregon’s special summary judgment procedure applicable to employment discrimination cases or by federal summary judgment rules and procedures.
