   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  10-3858
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Pine Bluff   
   [PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Bye and Colloton, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - civil rights. In action alleging defendants discriminated against him on the basis of his race in revoking his medical-staff privileges, plaintiff failed to provide any evidence giving rise to an inference that the defendants discriminated against him because of his race; even if plaintiff engaged in protected activity, he failed to show that there was a casual connection between that activity and the revocation, and the district court did not err in granting defendants summary judgment on plaintiff's retaliation claims; plaintiff failed to show any racial animus on the part of defendants and his Section 1985(3) claims failed as a matter of law; district court did not abuse its discretion by denying plaintiff's request for continuance with respect to a motions hearing.
