Henry Hall v. Lear Corporation

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Henry Hall appeals the district court’s 1 adverse grant of summary judgment in his employment-discrimination action. We conclude that the court properly granted summary judgment. First, Mr. Hall failed to exhaust his administrative remedies on his race-based hostile-work-environment claim, because his charge of discrimination addressed only retaliation, see Bainbridge v. Loffredo Gardens, Inc., 378 F.3d 756, 760 (8th Cir. 2004); and second, Mr. Hall’s retaliation claim fails because he did not create a trialworthy issue on whether the alleged retaliation was causally connected to the protected activity in which he had engaged some three years earlier, see Van Horn v. Best Buy Stores, L.P., 526 F.3d 1144, 1149 (8th Cir. 2008).

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

. The Honorable Charles R. Wolle, United States District Judge for the Southern District of Iowa.
