United States Sixth Circuit

Summary judgment for defendant is affirmed in claims for race and age discrimination under Title VII, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and the Tennessee Human Rights Act, as the four-year statute of limitations in 28 U.S.C. section 1658 does apply to 42 U.S.C. section 1981 claims, and reasons for denial of promotion were not pretextual.
