Lucyna Kobos, Plaintiffv.Target Corporation and Amy Martinez, Defendants

MEMORANDUM AND ORDERINTRODUCTION  Plaintiff Lucyna Kobos (“Plaintiff”) brought this action against Target Corporation (“Target”) and Amy Martinez (“Martinez,” collectively, “Defendants”) for age discrimination under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”), discrimination on the basis of national origin under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. (“Title VII”), retaliation, and discrimination constituting a hostile work environment. (Compl. [DE 1]1.) Presently before the Court is Target’s motion for summary judgment pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 56. As explained in more detail below, Target’s motion for summary judgment is granted as to all claims. BACKGROUNDThe following facts are taken from the Parties’ Rule 56.1 Statements, and are uncontested unless otherwise stated. Notably, significant portions of Plaintiff’s Rule 56.1 Statement are inadmissible due to counsel’s failure to comply with the requirement that “[e]ach statement by the movant or opponent pursuant to Rule 56.1(a) and (b), including each statement controverting and statement of material fact, must be followed by citation to evidence which would be admissible, set forth as required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(c).” Local Civ. R. 56.1(d). Plaintiff’s Rule 56.1 Statement is largely, though not entirely, devoid of citations for facts such as Plaintiff’s age and whether Defendant Martinez told Target to fire Plaintiff. (See P.’s R. 56.1 Stmt. [DE 30-8]
