Description

Leon Johnson, a 44-year-old male African-American, was fired from his job as vice president of sales and marketing for Zema Systems Corporation ("Zema"), a beer distribution company. Johnson brought claims of racial discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliatory discharge against Zema. Magistrate Judge Ronald A. Guzman, to whom District Court Judge Nordberg referred the matter, recommended granting summary judgment to Zema on the grounds that Johnson had failed to provide sufficient evidence to sustain a prima facie case on any of the claims. Judge Nordberg adopted the magistrate Judge's recommendations over Johnson's objections and granted summary judgment for Zema. In so doing, Judge Nordberg refused to consider Johnson's objections, believing them to lack the specificity required for objections to a magistrate Judge's report.
