Maxwell v. City & County of San Francisco

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Plaintiff has not shown that the legitimate, nondiscriminatory reasons defendant has offered for any actions it took against her are a pretext for discrimination. See, e.g., Surrell v. Cal. Water Serv. Co., 518 F.3d 1097, 1105-07 (9th Cir. 2008); Bradley v. Harcourt, Brace & Co., 104 F.3d 267, 269-71 (9th Cir. 1996). Nor has plaintiff shown that defendant took an adverse action against her because she engaged in protected activity. See, e.g., Surrell, 518 F.3d at 1107-08. And, none of the conduct plaintiff alleges occurred was sufficiently severe or pervasive to alter the conditions of her employment and create an abusive work environment. See, e.g., Manatt v. Bank of Am., N.A., 339 F.3d 792, 798, 800-01 (9th Cir. 2003); Kortan v. Cal. Youth Auth., 217 F.3d 1104, 1110-11 (9th Cir. 2000).

AFFIRMED.
