Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit - 16 F.3d 416 (10th Cir. 1994) Feb. 7, 1994

Before TACHA and KELLY, Circuit Judges, and BROWN,**  District Judge.

ORDER AND JUDGMENT1 

TACHA

After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a); 10th Cir. R. 34.1.9. The case is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.

Plaintiff-appellant Patricia K. Martin brought this pro se action against defendants under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C.2000e to -16, alleging improper gender and race discrimination and reprisals that eventually led to termination of her employment with the Federal Aviation Administration. After Martin presented her evidence at a trial to the district court, the court found that she had not presented any credible evidence of impermissibly motivated employment practices and that she had not made out a prima facie case of discrimination. It therefore granted judgment as a matter of law to defendants and dismissed the case. Martin appeals.

We review a district court's factual findings regarding employment practices in a Title VII case under the clearly erroneous standard. See Sanchez v. Philip Morris Inc., 992 F.2d 244, 247 (10th Cir. 1993). Because Martin is proceeding pro se, we construe her arguments liberally. Hall v. Bellmon, 935 F.2d 1106, 1110 (10th Cir. 1991). We have fully considered her arguments and find them unpersuasive. In addition, there is no evidence of any bias against Martin by the district court.

The judgment of the United States District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma is AFFIRMED. Martin's motions to present witness, to present evidence, and to present oral argument not by a female but by a male are DENIED. The mandate shall issue forthwith.
