Hoko v. Huish Detergents, Inc., No. 11-4016 (10th Cir. 2011)
Annotate this CasePro se Plaintiff-Appellant Sione Hoko appealed the district court's grant of summary judgment in favor of Huish Detergents, Inc. on his Title VII and state-law civil rights claims. Plaintiff worked for Huish from 1989 until he was terminated in 2005. His law position was a Supervisor in the "Raw Material Department." An internal audi report showed that from June 12 through June 22, 02005, Plaintiff repeatedly visited non-work related internet sites for extended periods of time during his workday. He was terminated based on excessive amounts of time he spent on the internet. Finding that Plaintiff was an "at-will" employee, and that he failed to provide any evidence of a hostile work environment, disparate treatment or that Huish terminated him in retaliation for complaining about discrimination, the Tenth Circuit affirmed the district court's grant of summary judgment in favor of Huish.
