Case: Discrimination/Race Discrimination (N.D. Ga.)

A Georgia federal district court granted summary judgment to Delta Air Lines on claims of racial discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and 42 U.S.C. § 1981 brought by a Black aircraft maintenance technician who was terminated for dishonest timekeeping practices, finding that the plaintiff failed to establish a prima facie case because he wasn’t replaced by someone outside his protected class and didn’t identify similarly situated employees treated more favorably, and he couldn’t show Delta’s legitimate reason for termination was pretextual.
