Jay ABRAHAM, Plaintiff-Appellant v. DRIVERS MANAGEMENT, LLC, Defendant-Appellee.
    No. 13-2571.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
    Submitted: March 7, 2014.
    Filed: April 7, 2014.
    Jon Rehm, Rehm & Bennet, Lincoln, NE, for Plaintiff-Appellant.
    Patrick Joseph Barrett, Fraser & Stryker, Omaha, NE, for Defendant-Appellee.
    Before LOKEN, BYE, and COLLOTON, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

After Drivers Management, LLC (Drivers), terminated the employment of one of its truck drivers, Jay Abraham, he brought a lawsuit under Title VII and Nebraska law claiming, as relevant to this appeal, that Drivers terminated him on the basis of his national origin. The district court granted summary judgment to Drivers, and Abraham appeals. Upon careful de novo review, we conclude that a jury would be unable to find, based on the evidence in the summary judgment record, that Drivers’ reasons for terminating Abraham were a pretext for national-origin discrimination. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. 
      
      . The Honorable John M. Gerrard, United States District Judge for the District of Nebraska.
