George Dzaba v. Willcox Inc. Reinsurance Intermediaries, Johnson & Higgins, Inc., Willis King, JR., Patricia Handley and Elizabeth Kazar, 107 F.3d 2, 2d Cir. (1997)
3d 2
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of New
York (John F. Keenan, Judge ).
This cause came on to be heard on the transcript of record from the United
States District Court for the Southern District of New York and was argued.
George Dzaba, pro se, appeals from the district court's grant of summary
judgment in favor of defendants on his claims of race and national origin
discrimination. Dzaba, who is black and was born in Ghana, claims that
defendants treated him differently from other employees due to his race,
alleging inter alia that they refused to transfer him outside a word processing
pool while transferring white employees, obstructed his attempts to advance in
the company, forced him to take a test no other applicant was given when he
applied for a different job in the company, put him on probation without
warning and refused to reimburse him for tuition payments. He further
contends that he was ultimately fired for discriminatory reasons and in
retaliation for his filing of an EEOC complaint.
