appeals the summary judgment rendered by the district court in favor of the Appellee, Electronic

Electronic Data, retaliated against him for asserting his rights under the Family Medical Leave
Act (“FMLA”), 29 U.S.C. § 2601, et. seq., interfered with his rights under the FMLA, and
discriminated against him in violation of the Kentucky Civil Rights Act, Ky. Rev. Stat.
