George W. NIX, Jr., Plaintiff-Appellee, v. WLCY RADIO/RAHALL COMMUNICATIONS, Defendant-Appellant
Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
Decided August 13, 1984No. 82-5769PublishedCited by 552 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
WISDOM, Senior Circuit Judge:
George Nix brought this Title VII action after he was fired from his job as a disc jockey on WLCY Radio in Tampa. WLCY alleged that Nix was fired for violating a company rule against competitive moonlighting. Nix, who is black, alleged that the moonlighting accusation was a pretext for racial discrimination. After a bench trial, the court entered judgment for Nix and awarded him $20,000 in back pay and $8,216 in attorney fees. We hold that there is insufficient evidence to support the trial court’s finding that Nix was fired because of his race, and we reverse.
