United States Court of Appeals For the First Circuit
No. 99-1499
ROBERT E. SILVA,
Plaintiff, Appellant,
v.
WILLIAM A. SIFFLARD, VICE PRESIDENT, GENERAL MANAGER, E.U.A. NOVA,
Defendants, Appellees.
APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF RHODE ISLAND
[Hon. Mary M. Lisi, U.S. District Judge]
Before
Torruella, Chief Judge, Campbell, Senior Circuit Judge, and Lipez, Circuit Judge.
Robert E. Silva on brief pro se. Steven M. Richard, Douglas J. Emanuel and Tillinghast, Licht, Perkins, Smith & Cohen on brief for appellees.
April 24, 2000 Per Curiam. After carefully reviewing the record
and briefs on appeal, we affirm substantially for the
reasons adopted by the district court. Among other
considerations, the appellant made no showing that he could
establish an essential element of his case, that he was
harassed because of his sex. Although we do not condone
harassment on the basis of perceived sexual orientation, it
is not, without more, actionable under Title VII. Higgins
v. New Balance Athletic Shoe Inc., 194 F.3d 252 (1st Cir.
1999).
Affirmed. Loc. R. 27(c).
