Frank grants the employer's motion for summary judgment in the employee's suit alleging that his termination was racially discriminatory, and denies a request to file four exhibits submitted at a summary judgment hearing. The employee's claims under the Minnesota Human Rights Act are time-barred, he has not exhausted his administrative remedies for his retaliation claims, and he has not demonstrated a causal link between alleged racially derogatory statements by supervisors, patients and coworkers and his termination.
