171604P.pdf   02/16/2018  Aldridge Winfrey  v.  City of Forrest City, Arkansas
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  17-1604
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Helena   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Gruender and Melloy, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Title VII. Plaintiff's retaliation claim, on its face, was 
   outside the bounds of Title VII as he had not pleaded that he engaged in 
   "protected conduct;" protesting application of unfair treatment unmoored 
   from the distinct classes Title VII protects is not a basis for a Title 
   VII claim; attempt to introduce at the summary judgment stage of the case 
   a claim that the dismissal was race-based was untimely; no error in 
   dismissing state law contract claim.
