Unfortunately, you do not have a claim here. First of all, a company need only pay a worker for the time that was actually worked. Giving 2 week's notice is a courtesy on the employee's part; an employer need not extend the courtesy the other way unless you had a union or employment contract which provided othewise. Further, since you quit you are not eligible to collect unemployment compensation.
Note: If you feel that discrimination played some sort of role, you may have a claim. However, you did not indicate this to be the case.
