Ukofia v. American Financial Printing, Inc.

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit
Ukofia v. American Financial Printing, Inc., 175 F. App'x 108 (8th Cir. 2006)

Ukofia v. American Financial Printing, Inc.

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Anthony Ukofia appeals the district court’s 1 adverse grant of summary judgment in his employment-discrimination suit against American Financial Printing, Inc. (AFPI). After de novo review, we conclude that AFPI offered a legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason for terminating Ukofia’s employment—poor job performance—and Ukofia failed to create a trial-worthy issue of fact on whether that reason was a pretext for race discrimination. See Kincaid v. City of Omaha, 378 F.3d 799, 803-04 (8th Cir. 2004) (de novo standard of review); Wheeler v. Aventis Pharms., 360 F.3d 853, 858 (8th Cir. 2004) (burden-shifting analysis).

Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

. The Honorable Donovan W. Frank, United States District Judge for the District of Minnesota.
