U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit - 865 F.2d 258 (6th Cir. 1988) Dec. 14, 1988

Before MERRITT, BOYCE F. MARTIN Jr. and NATHANIEL R. JONES, Circuit Judges.


ORDER

This case has been referred to a panel of the court pursuant to Rule 9(a), Rules of the Sixth Circuit. Upon examination of the record and the briefs, this panel unanimously agrees that oral argument is not needed. Fed. R. App. P. 34(a).

Lynnell F. Halthon brought suit against the Michigan Department of Corrections alleging that her employment as a corrections officer was terminated in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e, et seq. The district court dismissed plaintiff's suit for failure to establish a prima facie case as required by McDonnell Douglas v. Green, 411 U.S. 792 (1973).

Upon review, we conclude that plaintiff failed to establish a prima facie case and that dismissal of the suit was proper.

Accordingly, plaintiff's request for counsel is denied. The judgment of the district court is affirmed. Rule 9(b) (5), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.
