Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit - 131 F.3d 1255 (8th Cir. 1997) Submitted Nov. 21, 1997. Decided Dec. 4, 1997

Larry J. Steele, Walnut Ridge, AR, for Appellant.

Phillip D. Hout, Newport, AR, for Appellee.

Before RICHARD S. ARNOLD, Chief Judge, McMILLIAN and BEAM, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.


This is an action under Title VII in which the plaintiff, Lawrence E. Tolerson, claims that the defendant, Auburn Steel Company, doing business as Arkansas Steel Associates, discharged him on account of his race.

The District Court1  granted the defendant's motion for summary judgment and dismissed the complaint. Tolerson appeals. Having read the briefs and heard oral argument, we are satisfied that no error of law has been committed. We have nothing of substance to add to the thorough and soundly reasoned opinion of the District Court, and we do not believe that a more extended opinion on our part would have substantial precedential value. Accordingly, the judgment is

Affirmed.
