Olen C. FAULK, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. CITY OF ORLANDO, Howard Jewett, Albert Nelson and Edward Hanna, Defendants-Appellees

KRAVITCH, Circuit Judge:

In this appeal, Olen C. Faulk challenges the dismissal of his pro se complaint under Rule 12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Construing his pleadings liberally, we conclude that although he failed to state a claim against the individual defendants, he succeeded in stating claims against the City of Orlando under Title VII, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e, and section 1981, 42 U.S.C. § 1981. Accordingly, we reverse the dismissal of his complaint with respect to the City.
