1Opinion of the Court
RILEY, Circuit Judge.
Richard Hansen (Hansen) filed an action in federal district court alleging his union, Communication Workers of America, AFL/ CIO (Union), breached its duty of fair representation by failing to provide Hansen with full back pay damages after an arbitrator determined there was no just cause for Hansen’s termination. The district court 1 determined the Union did not breach its duty of fair representation and granted the Union’s motion for summary judgment. Hansen appeals, and we affirm, substantially for the reasons given in the district court’s opinion.
