IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF MARYLAND ALVIN R. CURETON, SR. v. CIANBRO CORPORATION * * * Civil No. JFM-06-2303 * * * * ***** MEMORANDUM On November 22, 2006, this Court dismissed an employment discrimination action brought by plaintiff Alvin R. Cureton, Sr. ("Cureton") against defendant Cianbro Corporation ("Cianbro"). I concluded that Cureton failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted and that it would be futile to grant leave to amend the Complaint. Cureton has now filed a motion pursuant to Rule 59 for reconsideration of my earlier decision and for leave to amend.1 For the reasons that follow, the motion is denied. I. In his original Complaint, Cureton, a forty-nine-year-old African-American welder, asserted that Cianbro, a commercial construction contractor, had consistently passed him over and placed less-qualified younger Caucasian employees at its construction projects. Cureton maintained that Cianbro's employment practices violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ("Title VII"), 42 U.S.C.
