United States Court of Appeals For the Eighth Circuit ___________________________ No. 22-1950 ___________________________ William Guelache lllllllllllllllllllllPlaintiff - Appellant v. Conagra Brands lllllllllllllllllllllDefendant - Appellee -----------------------------Equal Employment Opportunity Commission lllllllllllllllllllllAmicus on Behalf of Appellant ____________ Appeal from United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Central ____________ Submitted: November 28, 2022 Filed: December 1, 2022 [Unpublished] ____________ Before COLLOTON, ERICKSON, and KOBES, Circuit Judges. ____________ PER CURIAM. William Guelache appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary judgment in his employment discrimination action. After careful review of the record and the arguments on appeal, we agree with the district court’s determination that Guelache failed to establish a prima facie case of discriminatory termination or failure to reinstate. See Banks v. John Deere & Co., 829 F.3d 661, 665 (8th Cir. 2016) (grant of summary judgment is reviewed de novo); Blackwell v. Alliant Techsystems, Inc., 822 F.3d 431, 435 (8th Cir. 2016) (in absence of direct evidence of discrimination, Title VII discrimination claim is analyzed under burden-shifting framework of McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Green, 411 U.S. 792 (1973)). Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court on that basis. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. ______________________________ 1 The Honorable Brian S. Miller, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas. -2-
