Text: Next, White contends the district court erred in finding he failed to establish a prima facie case that CMSI racially discriminated against him by not letting him clock in early. A plaintiff can establish a prima facie case of race discrimination by showing, inter alia, that he was: (1) a member of a protected class; (2) qualified for the job; (3) subject to an adverse employment action; and (4) treated less favorably than a similarly situated employee outside his protected class. Maynard v. Bd. of Regents, 342 F.3d 1281, 1289 (11th Cir. 2003). The district court did not err in granting summary judgment to CMSI on White’s early-clock-in claim because White failed to establish he was treated less favorably than a similarly situated employee outside his particular class. White’s conclusory allegation that he saw two non-African-American employees’ timesheets showing they were paid for clocking in early when a ban was in effect, absent any evidence to support this claim, is not enough to survive CMSI’s summary judgment motion.
