   MEMORANDUM

Larry W. Holiwell (“Holiwell”) appeals the grant of summary judgment to Greyhound Lines, Inc. (“Greyhound”) on Holiwell’s Title VII claim of racial discrimination. A district court’s grant of summary judgment is reviewed de novo. Padfield v. AIG Life Ins. Co., 290 F.3d 1121, 1124 (9th Cir.2002). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Greyhound terminated Holiwell’s employment following a highway collision for which he was responsible. Holiwell sued Greyhound for violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as amended. Greyhound sought summary judgment, claiming that Holiwell failed to make a prima facie case of discrimination under McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Green, 411 U.S. 792, 802, 93 S.Ct. 1817, 36 L.Ed.2d 668 (1973). Greyhound argued in the alternative that even if Holiwell did make a prima facie case, he failed to raise a genuine issue of material fact as to whether Greyhound’s proffered reason for its employment decision was pretextual. Id. at 804. The district court found that Holiwell failed to establish a prima facie case of discrimination and granted summary judgment to Greyhound. It did not address Greyhound’s alternative argument.

This Court may review a district court’s grant of summary judgment and affirm on any ground supported by the record. Or-say v. U.S. Dep’t. of Justice, 289 F.3d 1125, 1132 (9th Cir.2002). In this case, it is unnecessary to determine whether Holiwell made a prima facie case of discrimination, because even if he did, Holiwell has not offered any evidence that would raise a genuine issue of material fact as to whether Greyhound’s nondiscriminatory reason for terminating his employment, the traffic accident, was pretextual.

AFFIRMED.
