Before LOKEN, BOWMAN, and COLLOTON, Circuit Judges.
                          ____________
PER CURIAM.

           Jeannie Ball appeals from the order of the District Court1 granting
summary judgment to St. Louis County in Ball’s action under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1981 and


      1
        The Honorable Leo I. Brisbois, United States Magistrate Judge for the District
of Minnesota, to whom the case was referred for final disposition by consent of the
parties under 28 U.S.C. § 636(c).
1983, where she alleged that the County discriminated against her because of her
Native American origin. Upon de novo review of the summary judgment record, we
conclude that Ball did not present sufficient evidence that any County employee was
guilty of actionable discrimination, so her claims under §§ 1981 and 1983 must fail.
See Bediako v. Stein Mart, Inc., 
354 F.3d 835
, 838–39 (8th Cir. 2004) (standard of
review). Accordingly, we affirm.
                        ______________________________
