DARRYL P. CONNELLY,
Plaintiff,
v.

CIVIL ACTION FILE
NO. 1:11-CV-2108-TWT

METROPOLITAN ATLANTA
RAPID TRANSIT AUTHORITY, et
al.,
Defendants.

ORDER

This is an employment discrimination action. It is before the Court on the
Report and Recommendation [Doc. 93] of the Magistrate Judge recommending that
the Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment [Doc. 75] be granted in part and
denied in part. I agree with the Magistrate Judge’s conclusion that the Plaintiff failed
to make out a prima facie case of race discrimination with respect to his termination
claims. I also agree that there is sufficient evidence to submit the retaliation claims
to a jury.

The Court approves and adopts the Report and Recommendation as the

judgment of the Court. The Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment [Doc. 75]
is GRANTED in part and DENIED in part.
