IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE
MIDDLE DISTRICT OF TENNESSEE
NASHVILLE DIVISION
FRED BOGES,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 1:10-cv-00024
Judge Trauger

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY,
GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION,
GENERAL MOTORS, LLC,
GENRAL MOTORS PRODUCT SERVICES, INC,
d/b/a GENERAL MOTORS OF SPRING HILL
Defendant.

ORDER
In evaluating the defendant’s summary judgment motion, it appears to the court that the
Tennessee Supreme Court’s analysis of the McDonnell Douglas burden-shifting framework in
Gossett v. Tractor Supply Co., 320 S.W.3d 777 (Tenn. 2010) might have a bearing on the court’s
analysis. Gossett does not appear to have been cited by either party in briefing. Therefore, by
April 22, 2011, the parties shall file additional briefing stating their positions on whether Gossett
bears on the court’s analysis of the defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment.
It is so Ordered.
Enter this 15th day of April 2011.

ALETA A. TRAUGER
United States District Judge
