                                            Appellant

                             POST MASTER GENERAL

                             for the District of New Jersey
                                (Civ. No. 03-cv-05465)
                        District Judge: Hon. Freda L. Wolfson

                   Submitted pursuant to Third Circuit LAR 34.1(a)

                                       OPINION

McKEE, Circuit Judge.

      Luticia Hawthorne appeals the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor

of the Postmaster General on her claims of race and disability discrimination. We will

      *
       The Hon. Paul R. Michel, Chief Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for
the Federal Circuit, sitting by designation.

                                           1
affirm.

          Inasmuch as the District Court has set forth the factual and procedural history of

this case, we find it unnecessary to repeat that history here. See Hawthorne v. Potter,

2006 WL 231679 (D.N.J. Jan. 30, 2006). Moreover, in its Opinion the District Court has

carefully and completely explained why the Postmaster was entitled to summary

judgment on Hawthorne’s claims as a matter of law. We need not elaborate as we can

add little to the District Court’s thoughtful analysis and discussion. Accordingly, we will

affirm substantially for the reasons set forth in the district court’s opinion.
