Employment
National origin discrimination

Where an employee falsified his call records, summary judgment was properly granted to the employer on the claim that he was terminated because of his national origin.

“Here, BIPI put forth a legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason for terminating Naik. BIPI believed, whether wrong or right, that Naik falsified his call reports and Naik did nothing to really dispute the accusation. Thus, the district judge properly granted BIPI’s motion for summary judgment. We also conclude that the district judge did not abuse his discretion in denying Naik’s Rule 59(e) motion seeking reconsideration.”

Affirmed.
