[PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Hansen and Melloy, Circuit
Judges]
Civil case - employment discrimination. Defendant provided
legitimate, non-discriminatory reasons for its decision not to hire plaintiff
for the position of President, and plaintiff failed to show that the offered
reasons were pretexts for discrimination; while plaintiff's demotion after
he filed this suit was an adverse employment action, the defendant
established that the basis for the demotion was the plagiarism plaintiff
committed in his application for the position of President and that the
action was not take in retaliation for the filing of the suit.
