For the Fifth Circuit
No. 95-60449
Summary Calendar
ROBERT SUPINGER,
Plaintiff-Appellant,
VERSUS
SIEMENS ENERGY AND AUTOMATION, INC.,
Defendant-Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court
For the Southern District of Mississippi
(3:94CV225LN)
January 16, 1996
Before DAVIS, BARKSDALE, and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Supinger sued his employer, Siemens Energy, claiming he was
discharged because of his age in violation of the ADEA and that
subsequently, after performing work for Siemens Energy as a
temporary consultant in the employment of Forse Temporary Agency,
he was terminated again for having filed an EEOC claim. Siemens
*
Pursuant to Local Rule 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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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 Local Rule 47.5.4.
Energy filed a motion for summary judgment and the district court
granted the motion.
We have carefully read the briefs and the record excerpts and
relevant portions of the summary judgment record, including the
deposition testimony of Supinger. For the reasons thoroughly and
carefully set forth by the district court in its Memorandum Opinion
and Order filed on June 23, 1995, we are satisfied that the
district judge correctly determined (1) that Supinger failed to
raise a genuine issue of material fact as to his age being a
determinative factor in his initial discharge and (2) that Supinger
failed to raise a genuine issue of fact as to retaliation for
filing an EEOC claim being a reason for the termination of his
temporary consulting contract.
Accordingly, we AFFIRM the final judgment in favor of Siemens
Energy filed on June 29, 1995.
AFFIRMED.
