Miller v. Service Paint Co

UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT __________________ No. 98-40734 Summary Calendar __________________ CLEMON H. MILLER, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. SERVICE PAINT CO., 7305 Upriver Road, Corpus Christi, TX 78409, Defendant - Appellee. ______________________________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas (C-96-CV-539) ______________________________________________ May 3, 1999 Before EMILIO M. GARZA, DeMOSS, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:* Clemon H. Miller (Miller) appeals from a jury verdict resulting in the dismissal of his claim that his employment with appellee was terminated based on his race. Miller's sole argument on appeal is that the district court erred in its instruction to the jury. However, the instruction * 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 R. 47.5, the Court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. that Miller contends should have been given was not proposed to the district court nor did Miller object to the instructions that, in fact, were given to the jury by the district court. By failing to object to the instructions, Miller has not preserved his claim made on appeal. Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is affirmed. AFFIRMED. 2
