Description
This appeal requires us to decide how much weight to give an arbitration decision in a section 1981 employment discrimination case. The court below found that it was bound by an arbitration decision which held that the plaintiff, Jesse Becton, was discharged for "just cause." As a result, the court refused to consider any evidence which Becton had previously presented at the arbitration hearing. Becton v. Detroit Terminal of Consolidated Freightways, 490 F. Supp. 464 (E.D. Mich. 1980). Becton asserts that the evidence he offered to challenge his discharge and the evidence required to support his claim of race discrimination are inextricably intertwined. On this basis, he argues that the District Courts ruling denied him the right to have his statutory claim fully heard. See Alexander v. Gardner-Denver, 415 U.S. 36, 39 L. Ed. 2d 147, 94 S. Ct. 1011 (1974). We agree and reverse that portion of the District Courts decision. However, we find that this error did not affect the ultimate outcome of the case and affirm the dismissal of Bectons claim.
