Neal v. Western Union Financial Services

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Ella Mae Neal, an African American, appeals the district court’s 1 adverse grant of summary judgment in her employment-discrimination action. Upon de novo review of the record, we agree with the district court’s bases for granting summary judgment to Western Union Financial Services. See Habib v. NationsBank, 279 F.3d 563, 566 (8th Cir. 2001) (standard of review; elements of prima facie case of race discrimination); Helfter v. United Parcel Serv., Inc., 115 F.3d 613, 615-16 (8th Cir. 1997) (summary judgment is proper in employment-discrimination lawsuit when plaintiff fails to establish factual dispute on essential element of her case).

Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

. The Honorable Carol E. Jackson, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri.
