Omar A. Brown v. Federal Express Corporation

Plaintiff-Appellant Omar A. Brown, a former long-time employee of Defendant-Appellee Federal Express Corporation (“FedEx”), filed this employment discrimination lawsuit grounded in his failure to be awarded a promotion to a position for which he and other employees had applied. FedEx filed a motion for summary judgment seeking dismissal of Brown’s lawsuit. The district court referred the matter to a magistrate judge who considered the

filings and evidence submitted by both parties, then prepared and filed a 22-

page Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendation, exhaustively considering

the factual allegations and the law applicable to Brown’s complaint. Shortly

after receipt of the magistrate judge’s filing, the district court issued an Order

granting FedEx’s Motion for Summary Judgment. On the same day, the court

issued its Final Judgment, dismissing all of Brown’s claims with prejudice.

We have now considered the record on appeal, including without

limitation the briefs of the parties and the exhaustive report and

recommendation of the magistrate judge. Like the district court before us, we

are convinced that the magistrate judge’s recommendation to grant FedEx’s

Motion for Summary Judgment of Dismissal is correct in light of the alleged

facts and the applicable law. We therefore affirm the district court’s dismissal

of Brown’s claims with prejudice.
