• holding that circumstances of two employees were not “nearly identical” where they had different supervisors
• holding that circumstances were not nearly identical when employees actions were reviewed by different supervisors
• concluding that the plaintiff had not shown “nearly identical” circumstances because the employee outside plaintiff's protected class who allegedly received more favorable treatment did not have the same supervisor
