William Combs v. Fort Smith Public Schools
24-2804
| 8th Cir. | Apr 14, 2025

*1 Before LOKEN, ERICKSON, and STRAS, Circuit Judges.

____________ PER CURIAM. William Combs appeals the district court’s [1] adverse grant of summary judgment in his employment discrimination action against Fort Smith Public Schools *2 (FSPS). Upon careful review, we conclude that summary judgment was proper, as FSPS proffered legitimate, non-discriminatory reasons for its failure to hire Combs, and Combs did not establish that such reasons were a mere pretext for discrimination. See EEOC v. Audrain Health Care, Inc., 756 F.3d 1083, 1086 (8th Cir. 2014) (standard of review).

Accordingly, we affirm. ______________________________ -2-
