Summary Calendar
LOQUITA HENDERSON,
Plaintiff-Appellant,
v.
CHILDREN’S MEDICAL CENTER OF DALLAS,
Defendant-Appellee.
_______________________________
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
(3:98-CV-99-D)
_______________________________
December 23, 1999
Before JOLLY, JONES and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Appellant Loquita Henderson (“Henderson”) appeals from the
district court’s grant of summary judgment to appellee Children’s
Medical Center of Dallas (“Children’s Medical Center”). The
district court found that Henderson had not created a genuine
issue of material fact on the issue of whether Children’s Medical
Center’s stated, non-discriminatory reasons for firing Henderson
were merely a pretext for race discrimination.
Henderson’s appeal, which borders on the frivolous, provides
*
Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion
should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited
circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.

no basis for review because she did not address the district
court’s reasons for granting summary judgment in Children’s
Medical Center’s favor. Though Henderson asserts generally that
factual disputes exist that require further investigation, she
neither states specifically which facts show pretext or intent to
discriminate nor directs us to a record citation. She has
therefore abandoned on appeal any legitimate arguments she might
have made about the district court’s ruling. See Yohey v.
Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 224-25 (5th Cir. 1993) (“Yohey has
abandoned these arguments by failing to argue them in the body of
his brief.”).
We have nevertheless conducted de novo review of her claims,
and we affirm for the same reasons articulated by the district
court in its memorandum opinion of May 21, 1999.
