No. 88-6150.

904 F.2d 531 (1990)

Claude RODRIGUEZ, et al., Plaintiffs, Leroy E. Gibbs, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION; H.R.M. Committee; David Harriet; Marlin Hess; Kenneth Bridges; K.C. Beck; Dennis Heinemann; Richard Conrad; Robert Weatherly, et al., Defendants-Appellees.

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Decided June 6, 1990.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Peter F. Laura, and Mickey J. Wheatley, Law Offices of Leroy S. Walker, Los Angeles, Cal., for plaintiff-appellant.

Andrew C. Peterson, and Stephen L. Berry, Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker, Los Angeles, Cal., for defendants-appellees.

Before BROWNING, NOONAN, and FERNANDEZ, Circuit Judges.


NOONAN, Circuit Judge:

Leroy E. Gibbs brought suit against General Motors Corporation and named individuals (GM) for the deprivation of civil rights guaranteed under 42 U.S.C. § 1981. The district court granted summary judgment for GM. Gibbs appealed. The case is very close, but we think Gibbs has put forward maybe just enough evidence to require a jury to determine the issues in dispute. We reverse and remand.
