ORDER OF COURT
HORACE T. WARD, District Judge.
This action presents a claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1981 and the Fourteenth Amendment for racial discrimination in employment. Plaintiff, a black male, alleges his former employer, the Southeastern Demur-rage and Storage Bureau, wrongfully denied him severance pay and certain reemployment assistance allegedly given to other employees because of his race. Plaintiff seeks back pay, “employment,” punitive damages, and attorneys fees from defendant on the theory that defendant was his employer for the purpose of a § 1981 action.
