1Opinion of the Court
SWYGERT, Senior Circuit Judge.
This case presents a question of first impression in this circuit: does the successor doctrine apply to claims for employment discrimination brought under the Civil Rights Act of 1866, 42 U.S.C. § 1981 (1982)? The district judge held that the doctrine does not apply; accordingly, she dismissed the federal discrimination claims and pendent state law claims against the successor corporation, ESSI, Inc. (“ESSI”) and its president and sole shareholder, Shalabh Kumar. We affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand for further proceedings.
