UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE SIXTH CIRCUIT
LARRY THOMPSON,
Plaintiff-Appellant,
ON APPEAL FROM THE
v. UNITED STATES DISTRICT
COURT FOR THE MIDDLE
DACCO INCORPORATED, DISTRICT OF TENNESSEE
Defendant-Appellee.

BEFORE: SUHRHEINRICH, CLAY and SUTTON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM. Plaintiff-Appellant Larry Thompson appeals from the order of the district
court granting summary judgment in favor of Defendant-Appellee DACCO, Inc., and denying
Thompson’s motion for summary judgment in this action alleging a racially hostile work
environment under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e, et seq., 42 U.S.C.
§ 1981, and the Tennessee Human Rights Act, Tenn. Code Ann. § 4-21-101, et seq. On appeal,
Thompson argues that the district court erred in granting DACCO’s motions in limine, and in
granting summary judgment because there are genuine issues of material fact regarding DACCO’s
liability for co-worker harassment. Having reviewed the parties’ briefs and the applicable law, and
having had the benefit of oral argument, we conclude that this matter is AFFIRMED for the reasons
stated in the district court’s well-reasoned opinion entered on July 19, 2006.
