FRANK SESNO, CNN ANCHOR: The Supreme Court's current term is winding down, bringing a flurry of decisions this day. CNN Senior Washington correspondent Charles Bierbauer is there, has been following the court, joins us now with the details -- Charles.</s>CHARLES BIERBAUER, CNN SENIOR WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT: Frank, today the court handed down a ruling in an age discrimination case in Mississippi, where a 57-year-old gentleman who'd worked for a plumbing manufacturing company for some 40 years was dismissed. He said it was age discrimination. And, in fact, one of his supervisors told him he was just too old for the job. The company said, no, he just couldn't do the job adequately, cited problems with record keeping. What the court has said is that there's a reasonable enough evidence here and that this was probably an age discrimination case, and $100,000 in back pay and damages is due this gentleman down in Mississippi. What's significant, of course, is that this starts to lay down guidelines for courts and juries of how much evidence is needed to hand out discrimination suits and judgments -- Frank.</s>SESNO: Charles Bierbauer at the court, thanks.
