No. 13-10716
summary judgment for the employer, explaining its reasons in a thorough and
convincing thirteen-page opinion.
Kellam complained that, while out on family medical leave, she was noti-
fied that she was to be terminated because of across-the-board staff reductions
resulting from decreased funding. She was given the chance to apply for posi-
ptions at other locations but did not take that opportunity. She received the
full benefit of her medical leave before the termination.
As the district court explained, Kellam has presented no evidence that
her termination was for any prohibited purpose or for any reason other than
the employer-wide substantial reductions in force. The summary judgment is
AFFIRMED, essentially for the reasons carefully stated by the district court.
