“A ‘mixed-motive’ case exists when an employment decision is motivated by both legitimate and illegitimate reasons. See Price Waterhouse v. Hopkins, supra, 490 U.S. 228 (plurality opinion). In such instances, aplaintiff must demonstrate that the employer’s decision was motivated by one or more prohibited statutory factors. Whether through direct evidence or circumstantial evidence, a plaintiff must ‘submit enough evidence that, if believed, could reasonably allow a [fact finder] to conclude that the adverse employment consequences resulted “because of’ an impermissible factor.’ Tyler v. Bethlehem Steel Corp., 958 F.2d 1176, 1187 (2d Cir. 1992).” Levy v. Commission on Human Rights & Opportunities, supra, 236 Conn. 105.
