Plaintiff-Appellant Robert Veal, formerly an employee of Defendants-Appellees (“Schlumberger”), appeals the district court’s grant of Schlumberger’s motion for summary judgment, dismissing Veal’s action, which was grounded in racial discrimination in violation of Title VII and § 1981. Veal was represented by counsel in the district court, but he is proceeding pro se on appeal.

Our exhaustive examination of the 5-volume record on appeal, the briefs of the parties, and, especially, the comprehensive and detailed Memorandum and Order signed by the district court on January 31, 2006, satisfies us that summary judgment of dismissal was properly granted in this case. As we agree with the reasoning and rulings of the district court, no useful purpose would be served by our writing further. For essentially the reasons set forth by the district court in its Memorandum and Order, that court’s judgment is, in all respects,

AFFIRMED.
