1Opinion of the Court
BENAVIDES, Circuit Judge:
In this national origin discrimination case, Plaintiff-Appellant Amador Nieto appeals the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of his former employer, L & H Packing Company and Surlean Meat Company (collectively “Surlean”). Because the competent summary judgment evidence before the district court did not raise a material fact issue that national origin was a motivating reason for Nieto’s termination, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
I. Standard of Review
