Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Northern District of Georgia

__________________________

(August 24, 2018) Before TJOFLAT and JORDAN, Circuit Judges, and HUCK,∗ District Judge. PER CURIAM :

Honorable Paul C. Huck, United States District Judge for the Southern District of Florida, sitting by designation.

Case: 17-12126 Date Filed: 08/24/2018 Page: 2 of 2

The issues before us in this employment discrimination case are whether the District Court erred (1) in dismissing for failure to state a claim for relief Richard Houston’s negligent supervision and retention claim against the City of Atlanta and his intentional infliction of emotional distress against Sgt. McKenzie, and (2) in granting summary judgment on his claim that the City retaliated against him for engaging in activity protected by the opposition clause of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. (sec sign) 2000e-(3)(a). After considering the parties’ briefs and having the benefit of oral argument, we find no error in the District Court’s rulings.

AFFIRMED.
