   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  21-3376
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Ft. Smith   
   [PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Shepherd and Erickson, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Employment discrimination. Assuming plaintiff made a prima 
   facie case of termination in retaliation for raising claims of race 
   discrimination, the defendants articulated a legitimate, non-retaliatory 
   ground for his discharge, failure to follow first-responder protocols, 
   which plaintiff failed to show was a pretext for retaliatory discharge; 
   the seriousness of plaintiff's conduct was evident from his body-camera 
   footage, and the University's brief investigation before acting did not 
   constitute evidence of pretext.
