Taiwo v. Southland Corp‪.‬

Per Curiam: Rasheed Adebowale Taiwo appeals from the district court's order denying relief on his motion for reconsideration* of the district court's grant of judgment in favor of Defendant and dismissal of his employment discrimination action claiming violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C.A. §§ 2000e to 2000e-16 (West 1994 & Supp. 1996), and 42 U.S.C. § 1981 (1988), arising out of his employment with and termination of employment with Defendant The Southland Corporation (Southland). Specifically, Taiwo claimed that he was discriminated against on the basis of his race and national origin when Southland failed to promote, and then ultimately terminated him. He also claimed that Southland retaliated against him by terminating him for filing an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) complaint. We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error.
