Plaintiff-Appellant,
VERSUS

Defendant-Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
(H-98-CV-2532)
June 26, 2000
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DeMOSS, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
In August 1998, Yolanda Brown ("Brown") sued her employer,

her supervisor for approximately one year and that TDCJ retaliated
against her after she reported this harassment. TDCJ filed its
motion for summary judgment in August 1999, contending that Brown
failed to establish an "adverse employment action," that Brown
failed to establish a valid hostile work environment harassment
claim, and that TDCJ was entitled to the Ellerth/Faragher
affirmative defense. The district court granted TDCJ’s motion for
summary judgment on October 20, 1999, and Brown timely appeals.
We have carefully reviewed the briefs, the record excerpts,
and relevant portions of the summary judgment record itself. For
the reasons stated by the district court in her Memorandum Opinion
and Order filed under date of October 21, 1999, we AFFIRM the Final
Judgment entered on the same day which granted TDCJ’s motion for
summary judgment and ruled that Brown take nothing by way of her
suit.
AFFIRMED.
