Arredondo v. University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, No. 18-41186 (5th Cir. 2020)
Annotate this Case
Plaintiff filed suit against UTMB and his supervisors for various claims brought under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The district court granted summary judgment to defendants on all claims.
The Fifth Circuit dismissed the appeal for want of prosecution for plaintiff's failure to adhere to the federal and local rules of appellate procedure. In this case, most of the documents produced in plaintiff's supplemental appendix were not first introduced to the district court and were therefore not part of the record on appeal; plaintiff's motion was unnecessary with respect to the documents that did appear in the district court record but were not in the record excerpts appendix; the brief did not have the technical record citations that were required of appellate briefings; and plaintiff's non-compliance was prejudicial to defendants.
