   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  08-1221
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Jonesboro   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Beam, Circuit Judge, and Kyle,
   District Judge]
   Civil case - employment discrimination. District court did not err in
   granting employer's motion for summary judgment on plaintiff's
   retaliatory discharge claim because the action the employer took, issuance
   of a correction notice, did not harmfully impact plaintiff's employment;
   further, there was legitimate reason for issuing the notice that created no
   inference of a causal connection to any prior protected activity; district
   court did not err in granting employer's motion for summary judgment on
   plaintiff's race discrimination claims as the employer established a
   legitimate, non-discriminatory basis for the decision not to increase
   plaintiff's wages, and plaintiff failed to show the reason was a pretext;
   argument that the district judge assigned to the case after the trial judge's
   death did not give proper weight to the deceased judge's credibility
   findings rejected; grant of motion in limine was not an abuse of the trial
   judge's discretion.
