PER CURIAM.
Evon Gills (Gills) appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary
judgment in her suit alleging gender discrimination and retaliation, in violation of
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq., and discrimination on the

The Honorable Robert T. Dawson, United States District Judge for the Western
District of Arkansas.
basis of disability, in violation of the Americans With Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C.
§§ 12101 et seq., respectively.
Having conducted a de novo review of the record, see Kratzer v. Rockwell
Collins, Inc., 398 F.3d 1040, 1043 (8th Cir. 2005), we agree with the district court’s
conclusion Gills failed to establish a prima facie case, her employer set forth
legitimate non-discriminatory reasons for Gills’s discharge, and there is no indication
her employer’s reasons were pretextual. We also reject Gills’s argument the district
court improperly weighed the evidence or determined credibility, and we decline to
consider her arguments raised for the first time on appeal.
Because we conclude an extended opinion would have no precedential value
and no error of law appears, we affirm the well-reasoned opinion of the district court.
See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
