                             USDC No. 2:11-CV-1238

employment termination that he subsequently filed the instant employment
discrimination lawsuit grounded in racial discrimination.
      In a lengthy, well-reasoned Order and Reasons, the district court
explained its grant of Turner’s motion for summary judgment and dismissal of
Parker’s suit. Our review of the record on appeal, including the briefs of the
parties and the applicable law as explicated therein and by the district court in
its Order and Reasons, satisfies us that the district court’s judgment of dismissal
should be, and therefore is,
AFFIRMED.
