ROBERT VEAL,
Plaintiff-Appellant
versus
SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION;
SCHLUMBERGER LIMITED, SCHLUMBERGER
NV,
Defendants-Appellees
---------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
(4:04-CV-3550)
---------------------
Before SMITH, WIENER and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Plaintiff-Appellant Robert Veal, formerly an employee of
Defendants-Appellees (“Schlumberger”), appeals the district court’s
grant of Schlumberger’s motion for summary judgment, dismissing
Veal’s action, which was grounded in racial discrimination in
violation of Title VII and § 1981. Veal was represented by counsel
in the district court, but he is proceeding pro se on appeal.
*
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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
Our exhaustive examination of the 5-volume record on appeal,
the briefs of the parties, and, especially, the comprehensive and
detailed Memorandum and Order signed by the district court on
January 31, 2006, satisfies us that summary judgment of dismissal
was properly granted in this case. As we agree with the reasoning
and rulings of the district court, no useful purpose would be
served by our writing further. For essentially the reasons set
forth by the district court in its Memorandum and Order, that
court’s judgment is, in all respects,
AFFIRMED.
