It may be illegal if you are over the age of 40. If not, it is legal.
If you are over 40 and claiming age discrimination, your burden of proof is to show the adverse action is 'because of' your age. If you actually have evidence of that, not mere coincidence that you are over 40, feel free to contact me to discuss. Evidence would be documents or witnesses that show they talked about you being 'old', unable to do the job because of age, wanting pretty young things instead of old hags, etc, etc
If you over 40, please call us so we can assist you in this matter. Our telephone number is (310) 826-6300, ext. 50.
