Appellant. Raj Parekh, Acting United States Attorney, Kimere J. Kimball, Assistant
United States Attorney, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Alexandria,
Virginia, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Kaptoria Sanders appeals the district court’s order granting summary judgment to
the Department of the Interior on her claims raised under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act
of 1964, 41 U.S.C. §§ 2000e to 2000e-17. Upon our review of the record, we find that,
even if the district court had determined that Appellee was Sanders’ joint employer, the
district court correctly concluded that Sanders failed to establish a prima facie case of
discrimination or hostile work environment. Accordingly, we affirm. We dispense with
oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the
materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
