U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 14-2785
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis
[PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge, and Melloy, Circuit
Judge]
Civil case - Employment discrimination. Assuming plaintiff made a prima
facie case that defendant fired him from his trainee air traffic
controller position based on his race, the defendant established a
legitimate, non-discriminatory ground for the termination (failure to
master the necessary skills required of a controller), which plaintiff
failed to show was a pretext for race discrimination.
