UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

TENTH CIRCUIT


PHIL W. COCHREN,

Plaintiff - Appellant,

v.

JOHN BARNES, V.P. Gen. Mgr.;

and PEPSI AMERICAS, INC.,

Defendants - Appellees.

No. 02-3325

D.C. No. 02-CV-2099-CM

(D. Kansas)


ORDER AND JUDGMENT(*)


Before KELLY, McKAY, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.


After examining the briefs and the appellate record, this panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2); 10th Cir. R. 34.1(G). The case is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.

Plaintiff, proceeding pro se, filed an action against his former employer and a vice-president of the company alleging violations of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), 29 U.S.C. § 621 et seq., and Title VII, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss alleging that Plaintiff had failed to exhaust his administrative remedies. The district court granted Defendants' motion finding that it lacked subject matter jurisdiction because Plaintiff had failed to exhaust his administrative remedies.

Our review of the record and the briefs reveals that Plaintiff has not exhausted his administrative remedies. Plaintiff has failed to present any evidence that he complained to the EEOC regarding his termination or any other acts of retaliation that form the basis for this lawsuit as required by 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(e)(1). Therefore, after a thorough review of the briefs and the record, we affirm for substantially the same reasons set forth in the district court's well-reasoned July 22, 2002, Order.

AFFIRMED.

Entered for the Court

Monroe G. McKay

Circuit Judge
