Cleveland Clinic Beats Interpreter s Religious Bias Suit
Law360 (March 12, 2021, 6:16 PM EST) A part-time Arabic interpreter s claims that he was passed up for a permanent job at the Cleveland Clinic because of his religion and lost work when he complained lacked enough evidence to sustain his suit against the medical center, an Ohio federal court has found.
U.S. District Judge Christopher Boyko on Thursday granted summary judgment to the Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Osama Makar s religious discrimination and retaliation case, calling Makar s evidence for his claims the very definition of hearsay.
Makar, a Coptic Christian, had argued that the Cleveland Clinic passed him over for a full-time interpreting position in favor.
