PER CURIAM:
  
   *
  

  Appearing
  
   pro se,
  
  Michelle Gordon appeals a summary judgment in favor of her former employer, Beau Rivage Resorts, Inc., and several of its employees sued in their individual capacities. Gordon claims race discrimination and retaliation in violation of title VII and tortious interference with contractual relations.
 

  We affirm, essentially for the reasons given by the district court in its comprehensive and careful memorandum opinion entered on January 7, 2005. The court found that Gordon had not established a
  
   prima facie
  
  case but that, even if she had, the company articulated legitimate, nondiseriminatory reasons for terminating her.
 

  Specifically, Gordon violated work rules: A complaint about the sort of language she had used on the job was investigated and found to be accurate. Gordon was unable to show that any similarly-situated employees had received better treatment. And on the state claim of tortious interference, the district court correctly found that under Mississippi law, the employee defendants acted within the scope of their privilege.
 

  AFFIRMED.
