Green, 411 U.S. 792 , 93 S.Ct. 1817 [, 36 L.Ed.2d 668 ] (1973). The plaintiff has the initial burden of proving a prima facie case of discrimination by a preponderance of the evidence. ‘A plaintiff alleging a discriminatory firing need show only that [s/he]- was fired from a job for which [s/he] was qualified while others not in the protected class were treated more favorably.’ To meet her burden of establishing a prima facie case of discriminatory discharge, [the plaintiff] must therefore show both that she was qualified for and satisfactorily performing the duties of her job.””
