Publisher Description

After enduring a lengthy campaign of religious harassment from his supervisor, Wamiq Sattar was first transferred to a different section, then placed on probationary status, and finally was terminated from his position as an engineer for Motorola. Believing that the supervisor's religious intolerance lay behind his termination, Sattar sued Motorola and his two immediate superiors, raising claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. sec. 2000e-2(a)(1), and under state law. The district court granted summary judgment to the defendants on Sattar's Title VII claims and dismissed the state law claims without prejudice, declining to retain them under its supplemental jurisdiction. Although, taking the facts as Sattar presents them, it is plain that the supervisor behaved in a manner entirely unbecoming a person in a society that requires tolerance for the religious views of all, we agree with the district court that the summary judgment record does not support Sattar's claim.
