Defendant-Appellee. )
Before: MOORE, COOK, Circuit Judges; and HOOD, District Judge.*
COOK, Circuit Judge. Plaintiff JoAnn1 Anderson, a fifty-seven-year-old African-American
female, filed this Title VII suit against her employer, defendant John Potter, Postmaster General of
the United States Postal Service (the “Postal Service”). Anderson alleges that the Postal Service
discriminated and retaliated against her on the basis of race, sex, age, and prior Equal Employment
Opportunity (“EEO”) complaints, and subjected her to a hostile work environment. In a thorough
opinion addressing Anderson’s numerous factual contentions, the district court concluded that
Anderson failed to articulate a prima facie case for any of her claims, and granted summary judgment
for the Postal Service. Having reviewed the briefs and record, we reach the same conclusion.

The Honorable Joseph M. Hood, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of
Kentucky, sitting by designation.

adopting its analysis.

No. 07-1630
Anderson v. Postmaster General
KAREN NELSON MOORE, Circuit Judge, concurring in the judgment. I concur in
the judgment, on the ground that summary judgment is appropriate because Anderson has failed to
show a genuine issue that the defendant’s asserted legitimate nondiscriminatory reasons for its
actions were pretextual. Moreover, Anderson has failed to allege sufficient facts to show a genuine
issue regarding the existence of an actionable hostile-work-environment claim.
