ON APPEAL FROM THE 

UNITED STATES DISTRICT 

COURT FOR THE EASTERN 

DISTRICT OF TENNESSEE

BEFORE: NORRIS, BATCHELDER, and SUTTON, Circuit Judges.

ALICE M. BATCHELDER, Circuit Judge. Kelsey R. Wood alleges that Technology 

for Energy Corporation (“TEC”) violated the Equal Pay Act, 29 U.S.C. § 206(d), et seq.; the 

Tennessee Human Rights Act, Tenn. Code Ann. § 4-21-101, et seq.; and Tenn. Code Ann. § 50-

2-202 when it paid her a salary and bonuses lower than those of her male coworkers. The district 

court entered an order granting TEC’s motion for summary judgment with a memorandum 

opinion setting forth the reasons for its decision. On appeal, Wood argues that the district court 

erred by granting TEC’s motion for summary judgment because her salary and bonus violated 

the Equal Pay Act. 

After carefully reviewing the record, the applicable law, and the parties’ briefs, we are 

convinced that the district court did not err in its conclusions. The district court’s opinion 

carefully and correctly sets out the undisputed facts and the law governing the issues raised, and 

clearly articulates the reasons underlying its decision. Thus, issuance of a full written opinion by

this court would serve no useful purpose. Accordingly, for the reasons stated in the district 

court’s opinion, we AFFIRM.
