PER CURIAM:
Joan C. Daughety appeals the magistrate judge’s* order
granting Defendant’s summary judgment motion on her discriminatory
discharge claims brought pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e to 2000e-17 (2000).
See Daughety v. Geren, No. 8:04-cv-02114-CBD (D. Md. filed March
20, 2006; entered March 21, 2006). We have reviewed the record and
find no reversible error. The jury’s finding that the Defendant’s
proffered non-discriminatory reasons motivated its progressive
discipline of Daughety -- precludes Daughety’s appellate challenge
of discriminatory discharge. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment
of the magistrate judge. We dispense with oral argument because
the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the
materials before the court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
AFFIRMED
*
The parties consented to the jurisdiction of the magistrate
judge in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (2000).
