Betty GARRETT, Appellant, v. MOBIL OIL CORPORATION, Appellee
Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
ROSS, Circuit Judge.
Betty Garrett brought this action against her former employer, Mobil Oil Corporation (Mobil), under 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq. Garrett alleged her employment with Mobil was terminated because of her race (black) and because she asserted her rights under the statute. The district court denied relief reported at 395 F.Supp. 117 (W.D.Mo.1975). In this court Garrett has dropped the allegation that she was discharged because of her race, but appeals on the ground that she was fired for protesting racial discrimination which she in good faith believed Mobil was practicing.
