Sarah L. JONES, Appellant, v. KRAFT FOODS, INC., Appellee.
    No. 02-2434.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
    Submitted Jan. 17, 2003.
    Decided April 15, 2003.
    
      Before MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, BRIGHT, and SMITH, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

Sarah Jones appeals from a final order entered in the District Court for the Southern District of Iowa granting summary judgment in an employment discrimination action in favor of her employer Kraft Foods, Inc. (“Kraft”). Jones claimed that Kraft discriminated against her in violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq.; that it violated the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”), 42 U.S.C. § 12101, et seq.; and that it violated the Family and Medical Leave Act (“FMLA”), 29 U.S.C. § 2601 et seq. After conducting a hearing on Kraft’s motion for summary judgment, the District Court found that Jones established a prima facie case of racial discrimination. However, the Court also determined that Kraft offered a non-diseriminatory explanation for the discrimination, and that Jones did not prove pretext. Thus, Jones’s race discrimination claim failed. The court also concluded that Jones failed to carry her burden regarding Kraft’s alleged ADA and FMLA violations. Having carefully reviewed the record, we find no error in the trial court’s disposition of this matter. Therefore, the judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47(B). 
      
      . The Honorable Harold Vietor, United States District Court for the Southern District of Iowa.
