establish pretext by citing to the comparators for Manuel Encinas (discussed below), stating that younger drivers with worse accidents were retained. In addition, the EEOC refers to several other younger drivers who were involved in accidents, but were not terminated. For example, Adan Cano, 40 years younger than Marrazzo, was involved in eight accidents in 15 months of employment. In addition, Phillip Shamburger, who is 23 years younger, injured two different co-workers by backing into or running over them with his truck, but he was not fired until after he injured the second co-worker. Tutankhamun Johnson, who is *1290 35 years younger, was involved in three accidents but received no more than a warning. Jesse Flanagan, born 1972, was involved in several accidents involving property damage, but wasnot terminated. Nolan Burke, born 1983, hit two privately owned vehicles ("POV") in a seventh-month period, but was not terminated. Jahati Bell, who is about 34 years younger than Marrazzo, was involved in many accidents and was given a Letter of Commitment on August 2001. In October 2002, he backed into a POV. In May 2003, he received another Letter of Commitment because his truck rolled into another packed vehicle. He was promoted to a regular driver position to an AM lead man position. Yusuf Shahid, born 1969, was involved in numerous accidents, but was not terminated.
Defendants counter that none of these employees are proper comparators because they did not work as Commercial front loader drivers at the Henderson Transfer Station at the same time as Marrazzo and
