PER CURIAM:* Rickey Tezino appeals a summary judgment in favor of his former employer, the Metropolitan Transit Authority, in his title VII case alleging race discrimination.

* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.
