UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS For the Fifth Circuit

No. 00-30270

PATRICIA M. KAHN,

Plaintiff-Appellant,

VERSUS

LAWRENCE H. SUMMERS, Secretary of the Treasury,

Defendant-Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court For the Eastern District of Louisiana (98-CV-2652-J) December 4, 2000 Before HIGGINBOTHAM and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges, and KENT*, District Judge.

PER CURIAM:**

Patricia M. Kahn (“Khan”) appeals from a final judgment

entered by the district court, Judge Carl J. Barbier presiding,

which granted summary judgment to the defendant Lawrence Summers,

* The Honorable Samuel B. Kent, District Judge for the Southern District of Texas, sitting by designation. ** 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 R. 47.5, the Court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. Secretary of the United States Department of the Treasury (“the

Secretary”) with respect to her claims of unlawful age and gender

discrimination. The district court granted summary judgment after

concluding that Kahn failed to present a cognizable claim of

disparate treatment discrimination based on gender, age, or

retaliatory animus because none of the adverse actions claimed

involved “ultimate employment decisions” and because they never

contributed to a single adverse personnel action. The district

court also concluded that Kahn’s alleged harassment was not severe

or pervasive enough to have interfered with her performance or to

have created an objectively hostile or abusive work environment.

Having carefully reviewed the entire record of this case, and

having fully considered the parties’ respective briefing on the

issues in this appeal, we AFFIRM the judgment of this district

court for the reasons stated by the district court in its order.

AFFIRMED.
