No. 15-51024
Civil Rights Act of 1964, and Chapter 21 of the Texas Labor Code, as well as
common law defamation. Washington appeals the district court’s dismissal of
all of his claims, most as time barred, some without prejudice for lack of subject
matter jurisdiction, and his common law defamation claim for the defendant’s
immunity.
We have reviewed the record on appeal, including the parties’ briefs and
record excerpts and the district court’s fulsome and detailed Order of October
5, 2015 in which it carefully analyzed and ruled on the many aspects of
Washington’s case. As a result of our review, we are satisfied that the district
court’s Judgment of even date should be, and hereby is,
AFFIRMED.
