MSK partner Adam Levin was quoted in the article, "This Is Why 'Simpsons' Composer Alf Clausen Was Fired, According to Fox," published by Billboard on April 29, 2020.
From the article...
"'As in Wilson, Defendants have presented evidence that the decision not to use Clausen as composer in future episodes of The Simpsons had speech-related motivations,' writes Adam Levin, the Mitchell Silberberg attorney representing the defendants.
Levin argues that Clausen is unlikely to prevail in his complaint because he was an independent contractor and not an employee where the discrimination claims apply. The defendant adds that Clausen can't prove that he was replaced on The Simpsons based on pretext given how producers have offered legitimate reasons for their decision."
