294 F. App'x 112 (5th Cir. 2008)

Opinion

No. 08-10190 Summary Calendar.

September 25, 2008.

Delila Ledwith, Grapevine, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellant.

T.J. Johnson, U.S. Attorney's Office Northern District of Texas, Dallas, TX, for Defendant-Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, No. 3:06-CV-893.

Before SMITH, STEWART, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.


Lynda Marquardt appeals a summary judgment entered in her title VII case. She mainly contends the district court should not have dismissed her claims of age and sex discrimination for failure to initiate her administrative remedies within the required period of time. For the most part, however, she appears to acknowledge that her argument for timeliness is fore-closed by Rowe v. Sullivan, 967 F.2d 186 (5th Cir. 1992), on which the district court properly relied. On her retaliation claim, the district court correctly concluded that Marquardt failed to show a causal link between her protected activity and the adverse employment action.

The district court issued a comprehensive and persuasive Memorandum Opinion and Order. The summary judgment is AFFIRMED, essentially for the reasons given by the district court.
