United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

December 21, 2011.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Jim D. Waide, III (argued), Ronnie Lee Woodruff , Waide & Associates, P.A., Tupelo, MS, for Plaintiff-Appellant.

Paula Graves Ardelean (argued), Butler, Snow, O'Mara, Stevens & Cannada, P.L.L.C., Ridgeland, MS, Carlyle Creswell White , Butler, Snow, O'Mara, Stevens & Cannada, P.L.L.C., Memphis, TN, for Defendant-Appellee.

Before JONES, Chief Judge, and DAVIS and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges.


DeMOSS, Circuit Judge:

On February 20, 2009, Carol L. Vaughn was fired from Woodforest Bank for "Unsatisfactory Conduct." Vaughn brought suit claiming racial discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Because Vaughn has presented a genuine issue of material fact concerning Woodforest's proffered reason for firing her, we reverse the district court's grant of summary judgment and remand for a trial on the merits.
