Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas No. G-01-CV-498 _________________________________________________________________
Before KING, Chief Judge, and BARKSDALE and STEWART, Circuit Judges. 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.
2 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.
