MITCHELL v. ENERGY TRANSFER PARTNERS (2018)

United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

Freddie MITCHELL, Plaintiff-Appellant v. ENERGY TRANSFER PARTNERS, L.P., Defendant-Appellee

No. 17-20178

Decided: February 14, 2018

Before REAVLEY, SMITH, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.

Marrick Armstrong, Ghazal Asrar Vahora, Attorney, Smith Reed & Armstrong, P.L.L.C., Pearland, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellant Kelley Riddle Edwards, Luke C. MacDowall, Littler Mendelson, P.C., Houston, TX, for Defendant-Appellee

The judgment of the district court is confirmed for the reasons covered completely by the district judge.

The Plaintiff claims that there is a fact issue as to whether he and Bozeman were treated differently because of their race. But the corrective forms with different signing had complete differences in origin and significance to their employment. Race had nothing to do with that, and Plaintiff has not presented any evidence of racial discrimination.

AFFIRMED.
