Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas USDC No. 1:24-CV-1049 ______________________________

Before Jolly, Graves, and Oldham, Circuit Judges.

Per Curiam: *

Plaintiff-appellant, Dolores Lynn Garcia, proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, filed a 42 U.S.C. § 1983 lawsuit against three of her former co-workers after she was terminated from her job as a school bus driver. Specifically, she asserted that her Fourth, Eighth, Ninth, and Fourteenth Amendment rights had been violated. After finding that Garcia failed to Case: 24-50967 Document: 30-1 Page: 2 Date Filed: 06/11/2025

No. 24-50967 plead adequately any constitutional violations, the district court sua sponte dismissed her complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B). 1 Garcia now appeals the district court’s dismissal, arguing that her constitutional rights were, in fact, violated; that her complaint was dismissed in violation of her Seventh Amendment right to a jury trial; and that the district court was biased. Finding no error in the district court’s analysis and no merit in Garcia’s arguments, we AFFIRM.
