United States Court of Appeals FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT ___________ No. 05-1818 ___________ Anthony Ukofia, * * Appellant, * * Appeal from the United States v. * District Court for the * District of Minnesota. American Financial Printing, Inc., * * [UNPUBLISHED] Appellee. * ___________ Submitted: April 4, 2006 Filed: April 7, 2006 ___________ Before MELLOY, FAGG, and BENTON, Circuit Judges. ___________ PER CURIAM. Anthony Ukofia appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary judgment in his employment-discrimination suit against American Financial Printing, Inc. (AFPI). After de novo review, we conclude that AFPI offered a legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason for terminating Ukofia’s employment--poor job performance--and Ukofia failed to create a trialworthy issue of fact on whether that reason was a pretext for race discrimination. See Kincaid v. City of Omaha,

360 F.3d 853, 858 (8th Cir. 2004) (burden-shifting analysis). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. ______________________________ -2-
