JOHN PAGE,
Plaintiff-Appellant,
versus
ANTHONY J. PRINCIPI, SECRETARY,
DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS,
Defendant-Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
02-CV-1010
Before JONES, BENAVIDES, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Plaintiff John Page sued the Department of Veterans
Affairs (“VA”) under Title VII arguing that he was discriminated
against on the basis of his age and in retaliation for engaging in
protected conduct. The district court referred Page’s action to
Magistrate Judge Nancy K. Johnson. The VA moved for summary
judgment on April 10, 2003 and Page filed a reply to the VA’s
motion. On July 7, the magistrate judge issued a comprehensive
*
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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
19-page Memorandum and Recommendation proposing that the district
court grant the VA’s motion for summary judgment on all grounds.
Page filed objections to the magistrate judge’s recommendation and
on July 23, the district court adopted the magistrate judge’s
recommendation in full. Page now appeals.
After having carefully reviewed the briefs, record
excerpts and relevant portions of the record itself, we agree with
the district court that the magistrate judge’s recommendation
properly addresses the legal and factual issues raised by Page.
For the reasons stated by the magistrate judge and adopted by the
district court, we affirm the decision of the district court
granting summary judgment in favor the VA.
The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
