 Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 107 F.3d 15 (9th Cir. 1997) Submitted Jan. 21, 1997. *Decided Jan. 27, 1997

Before: O'SCANNLAIN, LEAVY, and KLEINFELD, Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM** 

Lonnie Feemster appeals the district court's summary judgment for the Sierra Pacific Power Company ("Sierra Pacific") in Feemster's Title VII action alleging racial discrimination regarding Sierra Pacific's failure to promote him. The district court granted summary judgment to Sierra Pacific because it found that Feemster had executed a valid release of his Title VII claim against Sierra Pacific as a condition to receiving early retirement benefits from the company. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291.

Upon our independent review of the record, see Warren v. City of Carlsbad, 58 F.3d 439, 441 (9th Cir. 1995), cert. denied, 116 S. Ct. 1261 (1996), we affirm for the reasons stated in the district court's order entered on November 3, 1995.

We have considered Feemster's remaining contentions and conclude that they are meritless.

AFFIRMED.1
