SANDIE P. CHU, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. PATRICK R. DONAHOE, POSTMASTER GENERAL, UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE, Defendant-Appellee.
NOT FOR PUBLICATION
D.C. No. 4:12-cv-02660-YGR MEMORANDUM Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of California
Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, District Judge, Presiding Before: O'SCANNLAIN, LEAVY, and CLIFTON, Circuit Judges.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
Sandie P. Chu appeals pro se from the district court's summary judgment in her employment action alleging race and national origin discrimination in violation of Title VII. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, Hawn v. Exec. Jet Mgmt., Inc., 615 F.3d 1151, 1155 (9th Cir. 2010), and we affirm.
The district court properly granted summary judgment on Chu's Title VII race discrimination claim because Chu failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether similarly situated employees were treated more favorably or whether defendant's asserted non-discriminatory reason for involuntarily reassigning her was pretextual. See id. at 1155-56 (providing framework for analyzing a discrimination claim under Title VII); see also Earl v. Nielsen Media Research, Inc., 658 F.3d 1108, 1112-13 (9th Cir. 2011) (discussing ways plaintiff can demonstrate pretext and explaining that, although plaintiff's burden is not onerous, plaintiff must produce specific and substantial facts to create a triable dispute as to pretext).
AFFIRMED.
