   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  14-1279
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock   
   [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Gruender and Melloy, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Employment Discrimination. Plaintiff failed to produce any 
   direct evidence that he was demoted based on race discrimination; applying 
   the McDonnell Douglas analysis, assuming plaintiff made a prima facie 
   case, UPS established a legitimate, non-discriminatory ground for the 
   demotion (violation of UPS's Professional Conduct and Anti-Harassment 
   Policy), which plaintiff failed to show was a pretext for race 
   discrimination; assuming plaintiff made a prima facie case of 
   discrimination based on his disability, he failed to show he ever 
   requested a formal accommodation or that UPS was aware of his medical 
   condition before the misconduct which served as the basis for his 
   demotion.
