Before JOLLY, DENNIS, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Wendy Nassar filed a lawsuit under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1981 and 2000e

against her former employer, Academy Sports & Outdoors, alleging

that Academy denied her a promotion because of her gender, and then

retaliated against her after she reported this discriminatory

conduct to the Human Resources manager and filed her complaint with

Nassar failed to respond.    Relying on the allegations in Nassar’s

make out her prima facie case, and on the retaliation claim because

Nassar failed to offer any evidence to indicate that Academy’s

legitimate    non-discriminatory   reason   for   terminating    her   was

1981 complaint for failure to allege racial discrimination.        After

careful review of the record, we affirm the district court for

essentially the reasons set forth in its thorough and well-reasoned

opinion.

                                                                AFFIRMED.
