Ahmed v. Napolitano
Court of Appeals for the First Circuit
Decided May 21, 2014No. 13-1054PublishedCited by 80 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
LIPEZ, Circuit Judge.
Appellant Tahar Ahmed, a Muslim and native of Algeria, brought this employment discrimination action claiming that he was passed over for the position of Deportation Officer in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on account of his religion, race, and national origin. The district court granted summary judgment for ap-pellee, the Secretary of the Department (“the Department”), finding that Ahmed failed to rebut the Department’s legitimate non-discriminatory reason for choosing other applicants and thus did not raise a factual issue of impermissible animus.
