Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. D.C. Docket No. 1:11–cv–03196–SCJ.
Before JORDANand BLACK, Circuit Judges, and KALLON, District Judge.
The Honorable Abdul K. Kallon, United States District Judge for the Northern District of Alabama, sitting by designation.
PER CURIAM:
Following a review of the record, and with the benefit of oral argument, we affirm the district court's grant of summary judgment. This is one of those rare cases where, despite the existence of a prima facie case and sufficient evidence of pretext, no rational jury could conclude that the termination was discriminatory. See Reeves v. Sanderson Plumbing Products, Inc., 530 U.S. 133, 148, 120 S.Ct. 2097, 147 L.Ed.2d 105 (2000); Flowers v. Troup County, 803 F.3d 1327, 1339 (11th Cir.2015); Schnabel v. Abramson, 232 F.3d 83, 90–91 (2d Cir.2000).
