In the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit _______________ m 05-30650 _______________ MICHAEL NIGRO, Plaintiff-Appellant, VERSUS ST. TAMMANY PARISH HOSPITAL, ET AL., Defendants, ST. TAMMANY PARISH HOSPITAL, Defendant-Appellee. _________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana m 2:04-CV-1483 ____________________ Before SMITH, BARKSDALE, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:* Michael Nigro sued his former employer for sexual harassment and retaliation. The district court entered summary judgment for the em- ployer. We have reviewed the briefs, the applicable caselaw, and pertinent portions of the record and have heard the arguments of counsel. We conclude that summary judgment was ap- propriate. Nigro was not discriminated against on ac- count of his sex, which is a required element of a sexual harassment claim. His retaliation claim fails because he did not mention sexual harassment in his initial complaint to his su- periors, so he cannot base a retaliation claim on the fact that he had filed an EEOC charge. Moreover, he has not shown a causal con- nection between the EEOC activity and his constructive discharge. The summary judgment is AFFIRMED. * Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has deter- mined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4. 2
