   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  21-1844
                          and No:  21-1846
   U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha   
   [PUBLISHED] [Erickson, Author, with Benton and Kelly, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Employment discrimination. Plaintiffs' conduct did not fall 
   within the protection of Neb. Rev. Stat. Sec. 48-1114(1)(c) as their acts 
   were not in opposition to any unlawful activity by defendant; assuming 
   without deciding that plaintiffs had established a prima facie that they 
   were terminated on the basis of their race, defendant articulated a 
   legitimate, non-discriminatory reason for their termination, and 
   plaintiffs failed to show the stated ground was a pretext for race 
   discrimination as they could not establish a similarly situated white 
   comparator; evidence plaintiffs contend was wrongly excluded would not 
   have cured the substantive defects in their claims.
