Description
This is an appeal by the plaintiff from judgment for the defendant in an action brought pursuant to the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, 29 U.S.C. § 621 et seq. (1976). The plaintiff is a patent attorney who had been employed for 24 years by the defendant and was 51 years of age at the time of termination of his employment in 1977. It is undisputed that plaintiffs termination resulted from a letter of resignation which he wrote to his immediate superior and circulated among several other executives of the Louisville, Kentucky facility of General Electric. However, the plaintiff has contended throughout this action that his resignation was not voluntary; rather that he was forced to resign and thus was constructively discharged. The district court directed a verdict for the defendant at the conclusion of the plaintiffs case. In overruling the plaintiffs motion to set the directed verdict aside the district court filed a memorandum containing findings of fact and conclusions of law.
