Court Cases

Comments Plaintiff Don M. Weber appeals the district court's grant of summary judgment in favor of Defendant Leaseway Dedicated Logistics, Inc. (hereafter "Leaseway") under Fed. R. Civ. P. 56. Also before the court is Plaintiffs motion to proceed on appeal in forma pauperis. In his complaint, Plaintiff asserted that Defendant discriminated against him because of his religious beliefs in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq., when Defendant refused to hire Plaintiff unless he provided Defendant with his social security number. Our jurisdiction arises under 28 U.S.C. 3 1291. We review the district court's grant of summary judgment de novo, using the same standard applied by the district court. Aramburu v. The Boeing Co., 112 F.3d 1398, 1402 (10th Cir. 1997). We grant Plaintiffs motion to proceed in forma pauperis, and affirm the district court. Plaintiff refuses to obtain or use a social security number because he claims it represents the "mark of the beast" as described in the Book of Revelations in the Bible. In April 1996, Plaintiff applied for a position as a truck driver with Defendant. On the application for employment Plaintiff refused to provide a social security number. Defendant did not hire Plaintiff and informed him that he would not be hired without a social security number. ... Therefore, we reject Plaintiffs argument. For these reasons: Plaintiff, Roy Dittman, appeals from the district court's grant of summary judgment in favor of defendants the State of California Acupuncture Committee (Committee) and Marilyn Nielsen, whom Plaintiff sued in her individual capacity and in her official capacity as Executive Officer of the Committee. Plaintiff alleged that Defendants' refusal to renew his license to practice acupuncture unless he first disclosed his social security number, as required by California law, violated both his right to due process under the Fourteenth Amendment and S 7(a)(l) of the Privacy Act (uncodified), 5 U.S.C.A. S 552a (note), Pub. L. No. 93-579, 88 Stat. 1896, et seq. We affirm.
