Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit November 21, 2001, No. 00-16327; D.C. No. CV-99-00327-HDM (Griffin v. Summit Packaging of Sierra Nevada, Inc.)

MEMORANDUM ***

Plaintiff Griffin offered no persuasive evidence of disparate treatment, retaliation or a hostile work environment. Whatever evidence of disparate treatment or retaliation he did offer was conclusively rebutted by his employer when it uncontestedly showed that Griffin would have been retained but for his refusal to stop running a competing business during his employment.
