Arthur Parris appeals pro se the district court's summary judgment for the defendants in his action under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e et seq. and California contract law, alleging that the defendants terminated him because he is African-American.

Corp., 872 F.2d 1416, 1421 (9th Cir.1989), and we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court in its order filed on June 17, 1996.
