Combs v. Plantation Patterns
Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
CARNES, Circuit Judge:
Meadowcraft, Inc. appeals from a judgment entered against it pursuant to a jury verdict in favor of Darrell Combs in this Title VII race discrimination case. The jury found that Meadowcraft denied Combs a supervisory position because of his race. The disposi-tive issue in the appeal is whether Combs produced evidence sufficient to allow a reasonable factfinder to disbelieve Meadow-craft’s proffered nondiscriminatory reasons for failing to promote Combs. We conclude that he did not, and that Meadowcraft was entitled to judgment as a matter of law for that reason.
