RONALD LEE GILMAN, Circuit Judge. Vulenzo Blount, Jr. was fired from his job at Stanley Engineering Fastening (Stanley) in August 2018 for using his cell phone while sitting in the operator’s seat of his idling forklift, in violation of Stanley’s safety policies and the terms of a “last-chance agreement” that Blount had signed less than a year before his discharge. Blount, who is black, sued Stanley for race discrimination and retaliation under the Kentucky Civil Rights Act (KCRA), Ky. Rev. Stat. § 344.040.

Blount denied that he had violated his last-chance agreement and alleged that Stanley did not terminate the employment of several white employees who had engaged in similar or worse conduct. He also alleged that he was fired in retaliation for filing an EEOC complaint three years earlier. The district court granted summary judgment in favor of Stanley. For the reasons set forth below, we AFFIRM the judgment of the district court.
