MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Simmons v. Modly, Case No.: 19-CV-1448 JLS (WVG) (S.D. Cal. 2020):

Title VII prohibits discrimination against an employee "because he has opposed any practice made an unlawful employment practice by this subchapter, or because he has made a charge, testified, assisted, or participated in any manner in an investigation, proceeding, or hearing under this subchapter." 42 U.S.C. 2000e-3(a). To state a prima facie case of retaliation, a plaintiff must show that "(1) [he] engaged in a protected activity, (2) [he] suffered an adverse employment action, and (3) there was a causal link between [his] protected activity and the adverse employment action." Poland v. Chertoff, 494 F.3d 1174,
