Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 850 F.2d 688 (4th Cir. 1988) Submitted: May 27, 1988. Decided: June 27, 1988

Otto Bintz, Appellant Pro Se.

Before DONALD RUSSELL and ERVIN, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.

PER CURIAM:


Otto Bintz appeals from the district court's order denying him relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Bintz alleged that he was prejudiced by a policy of racial discrimination which adversely affected his salary and opportunity for promotion. After a bench trial, the district court found that Bintz had not established a prima facie case of disparate treatment because of race. This determination by the district court must stand unless clearly erroneous. Fed. R. Civ. P. 52(a); Zenith Radio Corp. v. Hazeltine Research, Inc., 395 U.S. 100, 123 (1969). In this case we find no error, and affirm. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the Court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED.
