AMENDED ORDER: This Amended Order corrects an error in the Order entered 9/7/2010 47 and should be substituted for that Order, nunc pro tunc. For the reasons set forth in the accompanying Memorandum Opinion 46 , the Court finds that the City is en titled to partial summary judgment in its favor. Specifically, the City has established that it is entitled to summary judgment in its favor on Cottons claims for (1) age discrimination; (2) race discrimination and retaliation based upon the alleged disciplinary action arising from his leaving his station shorthanded in November 2007; (3) race discrimination based upon the December 2007 failure to promote; and (4) race discrimination under 42 U.S.C. § 1981. The motion for summary judgment as to those claims is hereby GRANTED and those claims are DISMISSED. The City, however, has failed to establish that it is entitled to summary judgment on Cotton's claims for hostile work environment, or for retaliation in connection with the December 2007 failure to promote. The motion for summary judgment as to those claims is DENIED. This matter remains set for trial to begin 10/5/2010.. Signed by Senior Judge Thomas Wiseman on 10/5/10. (dt)
