Ronald Mu'Min Owens-Bey appeals from the district court's order entering judgment for Defendants in accordance with a jury's decision that Owens-Bey was not the victim of discrimination in connection with his termination from employment. The court, which also sat as a factfinder to the extent that issues raised under Title VII were not triable by the jury, adopted as its own the jury's findings that Owens-Bey was not discriminated against. Our review of the record reveals that the evidence supports the decision. Clearly, Owens-Bey lost his job because of substandard job performance, not purposeful discrimination. We accordingly affirm the judgment of the district court.

As review of the record and other materials before us reveals that it would not significantly aid the decisional process, we dispense with oral argument.

AFFIRMED
