Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Louisiana
(99-CV-929)
March 1, 2002
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, WIENER, and BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Charles Evans, Jr., appeals the district court’s grant of
summary judgment in favor of the various defendants in this Title
VII sexual harassment and hostile work environment case. We review

-- 1 of 2 --

1 Stucky v. City of San Antonio, 260 F.3d 424, 429 (5th Cir. 2001).
2 42 U.S.C. § 2000e(b).
3 Greenlees v. Eidenmuller Enterprises, Inc., 32 F.3d 197, 198 (5th Cir.
1994).

the district court’s grant of summary judgment de novo.1 The
district court’s grant of summary judgment was based on the
undisputed record evidence indicating that none of the defendants
are “employers” within the meaning of Title VII of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964.2 North Street Boxing Club did not have the requisite
15 employees to qualify as an employer.3 Therefore those
defendants affiliated with NSBC cannot be liable. Finally Edward
Ward, Jr., had no relevant relationship with NSBC. Evans’ other
arguments are meritless.
AFFIRMED.
