PER CURIAM:* This case arises from a claim of sex discrimination allegedly suffered by Plaintiff-Appellant Rolisha Goins while serving as a women’s basketball and volleyball coach for Defendant-Appellee Hitchcock Independent School District (“H.I.S.D.”). Although separate from another sex discrimination suit brought by Goins against H.I.S.D. in 1998, this case relates to a settlement agreement resulting from the 1998 lawsuit and involves allegations that H.I.S.D., along with the individual defendants, did not faithfully execute Goins’s employment contract in the spirit of the settlement agreement.

On appeal, Goins contends that the district court erred in numerous ways: (1) in failing to enforce its instructions in an oral hearing; (2) in failing to follow its own scheduling instructions in another hearing; (3) in issuing a docket control order; (4) in denying her request for special master, ignoring her request to amend the complaint, and granting H.I.S.D.’s Partial Motion to Dismiss; (5) in denying her Motion for Reconsideration; (6) in striking her Motion to Amend; (7) in denying her Motion to Recuse; (8) in granting H.I.S.D.’s Motion for Summary Judgment and denying her Motions for Reconsideration

* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.

and for Leave to Supplement the Motion to Amend the Complaint; and (9) in granting judgment for H.I.S.D. The district court extensively reviewed each of the issues presented on appeal and adequately responded to each one in kind, even in situations where Defendants’ motions were technically unopposed due to Goins’s inability to respond to them. Based on our review of the record, we conclude that Goins cannot establish reversible error. Therefore, the judgment of the district court is

AFFIRMED.
