   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  19-2475
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock   
   [PUBLISHED] [Erickson, Author, with Loken and Shepherd, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Employment discrimination. Supervisor's statement that 
   plaintiff was "big and intimidating" was not direct evidence of racial 
   animus; plaintiff failed to make a prima facie case that defendant's 
   decision not to promote him was the result of race discrimination; 
   plaintiff failed to make a prima facie case that defendant's decision not 
   to promote plaintiff was in retaliation for a prior EEOC complaint; 
   plaintiff failed to provide sufficient probative evidence to permit a 
   finding in his favor that his termination was because of his race; nor 
   could he show the termination was in retaliation for the EEOC complaint 
   filed six years before his termination.
