Alvarado v. Donahoe

Court of Appeals for the First Circuit

Decided July 19, 2012No. 11-1686PublishedCited by 65 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

TORRUELLA, Circuit Judge.

Plaintiff-Appellant Alex Alvarado (“Alvarado”) appeals from the district court’s grant of summary judgment on his claim of retaliation against his employer, the United States Postal Service (“USPS”). On appeal, Alvarado alleges that the summary judgment record contains sufficient evidence to establish a claim of unlawful retaliation under the Rehabilitation Act, 29 U.S.C. § 791 et seq. Because we conclude that Alvarado has not proffered evidence sufficient to establish a prima facie claim of retaliation, we affirm the district court’s decision.
