ALBERT JEROME KING; ET AL,
Plaintiffs,
ALBERT JEROME KING,
Plaintiff-Appellant,
versus
CAPITAL TRANSPORTATION CORPORATION,
Defendant-Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Middle District of Louisiana
USDC No. 97-CV-1027
June 15, 1999
Before POLITZ, BARKSDALE, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Albert Jerome King contests the summary judgment in favor of
Capital Transportation Corporation. In response to King’s claim
that Capital terminated his employment in violation of the
retaliation provision of Title VII, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-3, Capital
moved for summary judgment, asserting that King failed to comply
*
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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
with Title VII’s requirement that he file the action within 90 days
following receipt of his right to sue letter from the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission.
The district court granted the motion, concluding that King
had not presented adequate evidence to justify the application of
equitable tolling. King asserts that such tolling should have been
applied.
Of course, we review appeals from summary judgment de novo.
Burns v. Harris County Bail Bond Board, 139 F.3d 513, 517 (5th Cir.
1998). Pursuant to our review of the record and the briefs, we
affirm for essentially the reasons stated by the district court.
See King v. Capital Transp. Corp., 97-1027-A-1 (M.D.La. Aug. 3,
1998).
