UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
For the Fifth Circuit

No. 99-21032
Summary Calendar

YOLANDA BROWN,

Plaintiff-Appellant,

VERSUS

TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE,

Defendant-Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
(H-98-CV-2532)
June 26, 2000

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DeMOSS, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

In August 1998, Yolanda Brown ("Brown") sued her employer,

Texas Department of Criminal Justice ("TDCJ"), seeking damages

under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C.

§ 2000(e), et seq. Brown alleged that she was sexually harassed by

her supervisor for approximately one year and that TDCJ retaliated

against her after she reported this harassment. TDCJ filed its

motion for summary judgment in August 1999, contending that Brown

failed to establish an "adverse employment action," that Brown

failed to establish a valid hostile work environment harassment

claim, and that TDCJ was entitled to the Ellerth/Faragher

affirmative defense. The district court granted TDCJ’s motion for

summary judgment on October 20, 1999, and Brown timely appeals.

We have carefully reviewed the briefs, the record excerpts,

and relevant portions of the summary judgment record itself. For

the reasons stated by the district court in her Memorandum Opinion

and Order filed under date of October 21, 1999, we AFFIRM the Final

Judgment entered on the same day which granted TDCJ’s motion for

summary judgment and ruled that Brown take nothing by way of her

suit.

AFFIRMED.
