                                                                                       Clerk

   Aisha Wright,

                                                                    Plaintiff—Appellant,

                                             versus

   Union Pacific Railroad Company,

                                                                   Defendant—Appellee.

                      Appeal from the United States District Court
                          for the Southern District of Texas
                                USDC No. 4:19-CV-203

   Before Higginbotham, Graves, and Ho, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam:*
          Aisha Wright appeals the District Court’s order granting summary
   judgment in favor of her former employer, Union Pacific Railroad, on her
   employment discrimination claim.
          We review that summary judgment ruling de novo, applying the same
   standard as the district court in the first instance. Davis v. Fort Bend Cty., 765

Case: 22-20322     Document: 00516623513          Page: 2    Date Filed: 01/25/2023

                                   No. 22-20322

   F.3d 480, 484 (5th Cir.2014). We interpret all facts and draw all reasonable
   inferences in favor of the nonmovant. Ion v. Chevron USA, Inc., 731 F.3d 379,
   389 (5th Cir.2013). Summary judgment is appropriate only when the record
   reveals “no genuine dispute as to any material fact and the movant is entitled
   to judgment as a matter of law.” Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(a).
          Upon review of the parties’ briefs and the record, we find no
   reversible error in the district court’s determination that Wright failed to
   establish that Union Pacific’s legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason for her
   termination was a pretext for discrimination. Wright’s remaining arguments
   and requests are not properly before this court. We therefore affirm the
   district court’s order granting summary judgment to Union Pacific. The
   judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
