Swierkiewicz v. Sorema
Sw. claimed he lost his job due to age and race.  Dismissed b/c he didn't follow evidentiary standard of McDonnell Douglas.  Ct says didn't adequately allege circumstances that support inference of discrimination.

H - Reversed - emp. discrimination cases only need short and plain statement showing P is entitled to relief.  McDonnell Douglas is an evidentiary standard, not a pleading standard.  Rule 9(b) does not apply to empment discr. cases.

McDonnell Douglas:
1. protected group
2. qualification for job
3. adverse empment action
4. circumstances to support inference of discr.

Don't want to lose notice pleading!
