AC46461 - Long v. Putnam (“The
plaintiff, Cassie Long, appeals from the summary judgment rendered by the trial
court in favor of the defendant, the town of Putnam, on her complaint sounding
in pregnancy and gender discrimination in violation of the Connecticut Fair
Employment Practices Act (act), General Statutes § 46a-51 et seq. On appeal,
the plaintiff claims that the court incorrectly determined that there were no
genuine issues of material fact as to each of her claims. Because we agree that
there are genuine issues of material fact as to the plaintiff’s claim of
pregnancy discrimination, we reverse the judgment of the court as to that
claim. We decline to reach the merits of the plaintiff’s claim that the court
improperly rendered summary judgment on her gender discrimination claim as the
claim was inadequately briefed. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the
court with respect to her gender discrimination claim.”)
