CA1: race-discrimination case non-starter

Prescott v. Higgins, No. 07-2809.  This is a race discrimination case.  The disparate treatment theory ends with the fact that he couldn’t show that he was qualified for the position he sought.  The disparate treatment side ends when he fails in a claim that the District Court should have taken judicial notice of some disputed statistics introduced in another case.

This case really seems to go nowhere.  I am not 100% sure if it is worth reading all the theories that fail, but it really seems fact-based.
