jointly referred to as Plaintiffs) filed suit in the State District
Court of Stephens County, Texas, against Kerr-McGee Oil and Gas
Corporation, Kerr-McGee Corporation, Kerr-McGee Oil & Gas Offshore,
LLC, and John O'Neal (hereinafter jointly referred to as
Defendants) asserting claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964. Plaintiffs asserted that Defendants engaged in
unlawful employment practices against Plaintiffs because of
Plaintiffs' race and color. Plaintiffs also asserted claims for
willful breach of contract in connection with a master service
agreement between Defendants and Daniel's Contract Services, Inc.
Defendants removed the suit to the U.S. District Court for the
Northern District of Texas pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C.
§ 1331 and 28 U.S.C. § 1441(b); and, six months later filed a
motion for summary judgment. The federal district court granted
such motion for summary judgment and Plaintiffs appeal.
We have carefully reviewed the briefs, the record excerpts,
and relevant portions of the record itself. For the reasons stated
by the district judge in his order filed January 24, 2002, we
AFFIRM the final judgment, that Plaintiffs take nothing against
Defendants.
AFFIRMED
