Wilfred Neely, an African-American, was discharged from Douglas Battery Manufacturing Company for violating company policy. Neely brought this action under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Secs. 2000e to 2000e-17 (1988 & Supp. V 1993), claiming his employer discriminated against him because of his race. The District Court1 granted summary judgment to the employer, and Neely appeals.
