A North Carolina man has filed a second lawsuit after losing his job at the casino owned by the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.

Edward Yashenko said his position was eliminated and given to a tribal member. He wants a judge to certify a class action discrimination case.

In April, the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed Yashenko's first lawsuit against the casino. The court said the Eastern Band had to be named as a defendant but couldn't be joined due to sovereign immunity.
