Cassandra A. Matthews v. City of Mobile, Alabama

The City of Mobile, Alabama terminated Cassandra Matthews, an African-American woman, after she fifed multiple complaints of discrimination with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”). Matthews sued the City for claims of racial discrimination and retaliation. The district court entered summary judgment because Matthews failed to state a prima facie case of racial discrimination and failed to demonstrate that the City’s legitimate nondiscriminatory reason for terminating her was a pretext for discrimination or retaliation. We agree and therefore affirm.
