Description
Three white male police training cadets at the training academy for the City of Madison were dismissed for cheating on exams. They brought an action in district court under 28 U.S.C. § § 1981, 1983, and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq., alleging that the City of Madison and Inspector Morlynn Frankey (the head of the Division of which the police academy was a part) had intentionally discriminated against them on the basis of race and sex.*fn1 The plaintiffs also alleged that Colonial Penn Insurance Company ("Colonial") had issued liability insurance for the City of Madison and its employees, and that by reason of this policy Colonial was liable to plaintiffs for any damages. The district judge granted summary judgment in favor of the city and the other defendants, and the plaintiffs now appeal. The plaintiffs' showings in this action were in crucial respects not based on the personal knowledge of the affiant, failed to show affirmatively the affiant's competence to testify, and failed to set forth facts that would be admissible in court. In addition, the defendants in this case have offered legitimate, nondiscriminatory reasons for the discharge of plaintiffs, and have sufficiently supported those reasons with specific facts shown by affidavits made on personal knowledge regarding evidence that would be admissible in court. Plaintiffs have not been able to show that there is any genuine factual dispute regarding defendants' reasons for dismissing the recruits. We will affirm the district court.*fn2
