United States First Circuit

In a suit alleging discrimination and retaliation after the Transportation Security Administration terminated plaintiff's provisional employment as an air marshal, summary judgment for defendant is affirmed where: 1) the district court was correct to deem appellee's statement of uncontested facts as admitted since appellant's response failed to comply with Local Rule 56(c); and 2) the appellant failed to show that the government's proffered reasons for its employment action were pretextual.
