The Fifth Circuit affirmed the district court's grant of summary judgment to Union Pacific Railroad, holding that Dumas failed to establish a prima facie case of retaliatory termination by not demonstrating a causal link between his protected activity (testifying for another employee in a discrimination investigation) and his termination for dishonest conduct.
