Appeal from the United States District Court

for the District of Nevada

Larry R. Hicks, District Judge, Presiding


Las Vegas, Nevada

Before: RAWLINSON, BYBEE, and ARNOLD, Circuit Judges.

The Honorable Morris S. Arnold, Senior Circuit Judge for the Eighth Circuit, sitting by designation.
--------

Appellant Katie Clifford (Clifford) appeals the district court's grant of summary judgment in favor of her former employer, appellee DTG Operations, Inc., on her claim of employment discrimination. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and we affirm.

Because the record does not contain evidence demonstrating pretext, Clifford cannot establish a genuine issue of material fact regarding whether her termination was unlawful. See Hawn v. Exec. Jet Mgmt., Inc., 615 F.3d 1151, 1155 (9th Cir. 2010); see also Vasquez v. Cnty. of Los Angeles, 349 F.3d 634, 641 (9th Cir. 2004), as amended. The inferences Clifford urged us to make do not "have roots in the evidence. . . ." Mueller v. Auker, No. 11-35351, --- F.3d ----, 2012 WL 3892960 at *8 (9th Cir. Sept. 10, 2012).

AFFIRMED.
