After careful review of the briefs and
consideration of oral arguments in this matter, we summarily affirm
the district court's entry of summary judgment for defendants on
plaintiff's
state-law
retaliation
claim.1
See
Bailey
v.
Pricewaterhousecoopers, LLP, No. 1:14-cv-10141 (D. Mass. Nov. 18,
2015); 1st Cir. R. 27.0(c).
We agree with the district court that
there was insufficient record evidence to support the conclusion
that Defendant-Appellee Sean Angles, the sole alleged retaliator
in this case, was aware of plaintiff's protected activity when he
engaged in the allegedly retaliatory conduct.
See, e.g., Ponte v.
Steelcase Inc., 741 F.3d 310, 323 n.11 (1st Cir. 2014).
Because
we affirm on this basis, we need not address the other aspects of
the district court's reasoning.
1
Plaintiff does not challenge
district court's ruling on appeal.
