Parker

MEMORANDUM *

The district court granted Appellee Otis Elevator Company’s (“Otis”) summary judgment motion as to all of Appellant Robert G. Parker’s (“Parker”) claims for relief. Parker appeals the grant of the motion as to his retaliation and hostile work environment claims. We affirm the district court.

We review de novo a district court’s grant of a summary judgment motion. Weiner v. San Diego County, 210 F.3d 1025, 1028 (9th Cir.2000). We must determine “whether, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the nonmoving party, there are any genuine issues of material fact and whether the district court correctly applied the relevant substantive law.” Lopez v. Smith, 203 F.3d 1122, 1131 (9th Cir.2000).

Parker brought an action under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq., as amended. He claims inter alia that (1) he was fired in retaliation for his alleged complaints about the relationship and its impact on other employees; and (2) the romantic relationship between his supervisor and another Otis employee caused him to be subjected to a hostile work environment.
