   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  18-2467
   U.S. District Court for the District of North Dakota - Bismarck   
   [PUBLISHED] [Stras, Author, with Loken and Shepherd, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Employment discrimination. Defendants offered a legitimate 
   non-discriminatory ground for plaintiff's termination - his inability to 
   get along with the doctors and nurses at the clinic - which plaintiff 
   failed to show was a pretext; plaintiff failed to show he was retaliated 
   against for reporting racial slurs and racially charged comments; with 
   respect to his False Claims Act retaliation claim, plaintiff produced no 
   evidence that his decision to report allegedly fraudulent billing was the 
   sole motivating ground for the defendants' decision to force him out of 
   the practice; plaintiff could not state a claim under the North Dakota 
   Business Corporation Act.
