Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
Catheron Pate is an Asian-American female who was terminated from her job at West Publishing Corporation for violating the company's policies against sexual harassment and for using profanity during a subsequent internal investigation. Her appeal challenges the district court's decision granting summary judgment on allegations that West discriminated against her because of her sex and national origin in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-2 and 1981. Having considered the briefs and the record, we agree with the district court that although Pate produced evidence that the "processes and interactions leading to her termination were opaque and misleading" Pate nevertheless failed to bring forth sufficient evidence that West's reasons for terminating her were a pretext for discrimination.
AFFIRMED.
