1Opinion of the Court
RONEY, Circuit Judge:
Plaintiff Square Cobb appeals the dismissal of his action alleging race discrimination in employment under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C.A. § 2000e et seq. The district court found Cobb was an independent contractor and hence not protected by Title VII. The two issues on appeal are whether the district court used the proper test to determine whether plaintiff was an employee or an independent contractor, and if so, whether the correct finding was made under that test. Holding the district court right on both issues, we affirm.
