U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 11-1243
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Jonesboro
[PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Bye and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Civil Case - Family Medical Leave Act and race discrimination.
District court's grant of summary judgment to employer on FMLA
interference and retaliation claims are affirmed, as Chappell did not
support interference claims and could not show adverse employment
action to support retaliation claim or that the justification for his
termination was a pretext. On discrimination claim, Chappell failed to
show other similarly situated employees were treated more favorably.
