   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  15-1300
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock   
   [PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Wollman and Colloton, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Employment discrimination. Plaintiff failed to establish any 
   direct evidence of retaliation; assuming he made a prima facie case of 
   discrimination under the McDonnell Douglas framework, the employer 
   provided a legitimate, non-discriminatory ground for his discharge which 
   plaintiff failed to show was a pretext for retaliation based on his 
   advocacy for the promotion of an African American employee.
