(b)  A total of 289 Class B stock purchase warrants were issuable May 1997 using
     a formula based on the average closing stock price for the 90 days prior to
     issuance. The Class B warrants became issuable on March 18, 1996, but at
     that time, the number of shares was unknown. The prior year has not been
     restated since it has no impact on the earnings per share calculation.

(c)  In connection with the refinancing of the senior debt facility in October
     1995, 750 Class C stock purchase warrants ("Class C Warrants") were issued.
     The Company has the opportunity to earn back these warrants based on
     earnings as defined in the agreement. For the three months ended October
     31, 1997 and 1996, the Company did not meet the defined earnings level,
     therefore all Class C Warrants were considered outstanding.

Office of the Assistant Legal Adviser for International Claims and Investment Disputes

		Bilateral Investments, Other Bilateral Claims and Arbitrations Archive		

**For more information please seeState Department Archives**

The Office of International Claims and Investment Disputes has lead responsibility in the United States Government for pursuing and defending an ever-changing array of claims under international law brought by U.S. nationals against foreign governments and by foreign nationals and governments against the United States Government. These claims most often relate to the expropriation of property and investment disputes, but also encompass wrongful death, personal injury, wrongful imprisonment, and other claims. The Office of International Claims also develops claims resolution processes to assist efforts to resolve disputes between third countries and nationals and negotiates claims settlements.

Under international law and practice the United States does not formally espouse claims on behalf of U.S. nationals unless the claimant can provide persuasive evidence demonstrating that certain prerequisites have been met. The most important of these requirements are that the claimant was at the time the claim arose and remains a U.S. citizen, that all local remedies have been exhausted or the claimant has demonstrated that attempting to do so would be futile, and that the claim involves an act by the foreign government that is considered wrongful under international law.

American nationals who wish to request the assistance of the United States in pursuing a claim against a foreign government, and who can meet the requirements described above, may submit their request along with supporting information to:

Office of the Legal AdviserSuite 203, South Building2430 E Street, NWWashington, 20037-2800

#### Zane KING, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE, Postmaster General, Defendant-Appellee.

No. 01-1031.

United States Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit.

June 14, 2002.

Before BOGGS, SILER, and MOORE, Circuit Judges.

*ORDER*

Zane King appeals a district court order granting summary judgment to the defendant in this case brought under Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act (Title VII), 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-16, et seq. The parties have waived oral argument, and this panel unanimously agrees that oral argument is not needed. *See*Fed. R.App. P. 34(a).

Seeking equitable and monetary relief, King alleges that he was fired from his job with the United States Postal Service (“Postal Service”), during his probationary period, because he is an African-American male, and because he previously engaged in protected activity or opposed unlawful discrimination. At the time of termination, King was a part-time flexible distribution clerk. King stipulated that a prima facie case for retaliation could not be made and consented to a dismissal of that claim only. After a .period of discovery, the Postal Service moved for summary judgment. The district court granted summary judgment, holding that even if King had established a prima facie case of discrimination, the Postal Service had a legitimate non-discriminatory reason for firing him. Reconsideration was denied. This timely appeal followed.

Upon de novo review, we conclude that the district court properly granted summary judgment to the defendant. *See Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc.,*477 U.S. 242, 247, 106 S.Ct. 2505, 91 L.Ed.2d 202 (1986). Assuming King satisfied the elements of a discriminatory discharge, the Postal Service articulated a legitimate, non-discriminatory reason for the decision to fire King. *See McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Green,*411 U.S. 792, 802, 93 S.Ct. 1817, 36 L.Ed.2d 668 (1973); *Texas Dep’t of Cmty. Affairs v. Burdine,*450 U.S. 248, 253, 101 S.Ct. 1089, 67 L.Ed.2d 207 (1981); *Talley v. Bravo Pitino Rest., Ltd.,*61 F.3d 1241, 1246 (6th Cir.1995). The Postal Service stated three separate reasons for terminating King’s employment during his probationary period: poor attendance; failure to follow instructions without continual direction; and safety problems in starting the machine he was operating.

Once the Postal Service articulated a legitimate reason for the discharge, King was required to show that these reasons were a pretext for discrimination, either because they were unworthy of credence or because discrimination was a more likely reason for the discharge. *See Burdine,*450 U.S. at 253-56. This is where King’s case failed. It is clear that King’s lack of punctuality and inefficient work habits could lead a reasonable supervisor to decide not to retain King. This evidence, combined with King’s supervisor’s undisputed record of non-discriminatory hiring/firing decisions, clearly establish that the Postal Service’s reasons for terminat*197ing King’s employment were not pretextual.

Accordingly, the district court’s order should be affirmed.
§ 535.438 Standby letters of credit, performance or payment bonds and similar obligations. ( a ) Nothing contained in §§ 535.212, 535.213 and 535.214 or in any other provision or revocation or amendment of any provision in this part affects the prohibition in § 535.201 and the licensing procedure in § 535.568 relating to certain standby letters of credit, performance bonds and similar obligations. The term *funds and securities* as used in this part does not include substitute blocked accounts established under section 535.568 relating to standby letters of credit, performance or payment bonds and similar obligations.
( b ) No transfer requirement under § 535.213 or § 535.214 shall be deemed to authorize or compel any payment or transfer of any obligation under a standby letter of credit, performance bond or similar obligation as to which a blocked account has been established pursuant to § 535.568 or as to which payment is prohibited under an injunction obtained by the account party.
