Plaintiff-Appellant
v.
FEDERAL EXPRESS CORPORATION,
Defendant-Appellee
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
USDC No. 3:16-CV-1456
Before WIENER, HAYNES, and COSTA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Plaintiff-Appellant Omar A. Brown, a former long-time employee of
Defendant-Appellee Federal Express Corporation (“FedEx”), filed this
employment discrimination lawsuit grounded in his failure to be awarded a
promotion to a position for which he and other employees had applied. FedEx
filed a motion for summary judgment seeking dismissal of Brown’s lawsuit.

filings and evidence submitted by both parties, then prepared and filed a 22-
page Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendation, exhaustively considering
the factual allegations and the law applicable to Brown’s complaint. Shortly
after receipt of the magistrate judge’s filing, the district court issued an Order
granting FedEx’s Motion for Summary Judgment. On the same day, the court
issued its Final Judgment, dismissing all of Brown’s claims with prejudice.
We have now considered the record on appeal, including without
limitation the briefs of the parties and the exhaustive report and
recommendation of the magistrate judge. Like the district court before us, we
are convinced that the magistrate judge’s recommendation to grant FedEx’s
Motion for Summary Judgment of Dismissal is correct in light of the alleged
facts and the applicable law. We therefore affirm the district court’s dismissal
of Brown’s claims with prejudice.
AFFIRMED.
