Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas
(SA-98-CV-88)
_________________________________________________________________
March 28, 2000
Before SMITH, BARKSDALE and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
For this pro se action and appeal, at issue are the dismissal
of Silvia M. Peña’s claim that, in violation of Executive Order
11246, she was terminated by USAA Federal Savings Bank (USAA) in
retaliation for participating in a compliance review by the Office
of Federal Contract Compliance Programs; and the summary judgment
granted USAA on her claims that USAA discriminated against her on
the basis of sex, national origin, and disability, in violation of
Title VII, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq., and the Americans with
Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. § 12112(a).

Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that
this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except
under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
For our de novo review of a dismissal for failure to state a
claim on which relief can be granted, pursuant to FED. R. CIV. P.
12(b)(6), we will affirm only if “it appears beyond doubt that
[Peña] can prove no set of facts” showing that she is entitled to
relief. Blackburn v. City of Marshall,
42 F.3d 925, 931 (5th Cir.
1995) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted; emphasis
added). Likewise, we review a summary judgment de novo, applying
the same standard as the district court. The movant, USAA,
prevails only if there is no material fact issue and it is entitled
to judgment as a matter of law. FED. R. CIV. PRO. 56(c); see, e.g.,
Weber v. Roadway Express, Inc.,
199 F.3d 270, 272 (5th Cir. 2000).
Pursuant to our review of the record and the briefs, the
dismissal was proper, see Farkas v. Texas Instrument, Inc.,
375
F.2d 629, 632-33 (5th Cir.), cert. denied,
389 U.S. 977 (1967) (no
private right of action under Executive Order 10925, predecessor to
Executive Order 11246), as was the summary judgment. We so hold
essentially for the reasons stated in the magistrate judge’s
detailed opinion, Peña v. USAA Fed. Sav. Bank, No. SA-98-CA-0088-FB
(W.D. Tex. May 10, 1999), adopted by the district court. Peña v.
USAA Fed. Sav. Bank, No. SA-98-CA-88-FB (W.D. Tex. June 18, 1999).
