Opinion

United States Court of Appeals FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT _____________

No. 97-1953EA _____________

Lawrence E. Tolerson, * * Appellant, * On Appeal from the * United States District v. * Court for the Eastern * District of Arkansas. Auburn Steel Company, Inc., * * [To be published.] Appellee. * ___________

Submitted: November 21, 1997 Filed: December 4, 1997 ___________

Before RICHARD S. ARNOLD, Chief Judge, McMILLIAN and BEAM, Circuit Judges. ___________

PER CURIAM.

This is an action under Title VII in which the plaintiff, Lawrence E. Tolerson, claims that the defendant, Auburn Steel Company, doing business as Arkansas Steel Associates, discharged him on account of his race. The District Court1 granted the defendant’s motion for summary judgment and dismissed the complaint. Tolerson appeals. Having read the briefs and heard oral argument, we are satisfied that no error of law has been committed. We have nothing of substance to add to the thorough and soundly reasoned opinion of the District Court, and we do not believe that a more extended opinion on our part would have substantial precedential value. Accordingly, the judgment is

Affirmed.

Attest:

CLERK, U. S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.

1 The Hon. Garnett Thomas Eisele, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas. -2-
