Decided July 25, 2014No. Docket No. 13-3625-cvPublishedCited by 309 opinions
1Per curiam
Pro se Plaintiff-Appellant Garry Kirkland appeals from two decisions by the District Court (Preska, C.J.) granting Defendant-Appellee Cablevision Systems (“Cablevision”) summary judgment and dismissing Kirkland’s Title VII discrimination and retaliation complaint. According to Kirkland, who was, in 2008, Ca-blevision’s only African-American Area Operations Manager (“AOM”), his former employer discriminated against him and ultimately fired him based on race. Kirkland also argues that Cablevision retaliated against him for repeatedly complaining to Human Resources about racial discrimination.
