Roosevelt Jones v. Suburban Propane, Inc.

Roosevelt Jones, an African-American male, appeals the district court’s grant of summary judgment to his previous employer, Suburban Propane, Inc., on his claims of race discrimination and retaliation under 42 U.S.C. § 1981. On appeal, he argues that the district court erred in granting summary judgment to Suburban because he made out a prima facie case of discrimination and retaliation, and because the district court construed disputed material facts in Suburban’s favor. Upon review of the record and consideration of the parties’ briefs, we affirm.
