Chappell v. Bilco Co.
Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit
Decided April 5, 2012No. 11-1243PublishedCited by 60 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
WOLLMAN, Circuit Judge.
Johnny Chappell was discharged from his employment with Bileo Company (Bilco) on August 10, 2007. He sued, alleging that his termination was the result of interference with and retaliation for his ex ercise of his rights under the Family-Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and racial discrimination in violation of 42 U.S.C. § 1981. The district court 1 granted summary judgment for Bilco, and Chappell appeals. Because Chappell fails to raise a genuine issue of material fact that Bilco’s actions were a pretext for discrimination, we affirm.
