Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Jerome Strong appeals pro se from the district court's summary judgment in his employment action alleging race discrimination and sexual harassment in violation of Title VII and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act ("FEHA"). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, Leong v. Potter, 347 F.3d 1117, 1123 (9th Cir.2003), and we affirm.
The district court properly granted summary judgment on Strong's race discrimination claim because Strong failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether he performed his job satisfactorily, similarly situated individuals outside his protected class were treated more favorably, or that Morgan Stanley's legitimate, nondiscriminatory reasons for terminating him were pretextual. See id. at 1124-25; see also Brooks v. City of San Mateo, 229 F.3d 917, 923 (9th Cir.2000) (same analysis applies to Title VII and FEHA claims).
The district court properly granted summary judgment' on Strong's sexual harassment claim because Strong failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether the alleged conduct was because of his sex or was sufficiently severe or pervasive to alter the conditions of his employment. See Oncale v. Sundowner Offshore Servs., Inc., 523 U.S. 75, 79-82, 118 S.Ct. 998, 140 L.Ed.2d 201 (1998).
Strong's remaining contentions are unpersuasive.
AFFIRMED.
