Text: Ms. Revels lists the dismissal of this claim in her “Issues Presented for Review (iii),” Aplt’s Br. at 5, but she appears to offer no further argument or discussion of the issue. Before the district court, Ms. Revels claimed that the Union’s failure to file a grievance was a breach of its obligations to her. Given our above analysis, we agree that the reasoning of the district court in dismissing this claim was sound. There is no evidence that the Union arbitrarily “ignored a meritorious grievance or otherwise discriminated against [Ms. Revels], acted in bad faith or engaged in perfunctory conduct.” Aples’ Br. Addendum, at 17 (Dist. Ct. Order, filed May 6, 2002) (citations omitted). -13-
