Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit - 51 F.3d 276 (7th Cir. 1995) Argued March 27, 1995. Decided March 28, 1995

Before EASTERBROOK and KANNE, Circuit Judges, and STIEHL, District Judge* .

Order

The court affirmed the judgment in open court for the reasons given by the district judge. We add only that appellant's principal argument--that there is a material dispute about whether he "falsified" a driver's time card--is incorrect. Appellant concedes that he wrote on the card a time preceding the driver's actual arrival. Appellant offered justifications for this act, but we do not sit, after the fashion of an arbitrator implementing a "just cause" contract, to determine the adequacy of justifications. Federal law does no more than prohibit discrimination, and this record does not support an inference of discrimination.

AFFIRMED.
