The court affirmed the district court's grant of summary judgment on plaintiff's discrimination and retaliation claims under Title VII and 42 U.S.C. 1981. The court held that plaintiff failed to present a genuine issue of material fact that her race was a motivating factor in her termination or that there was a causal connection between her EEOC complaint and the termination.
