Plaintiff Content Robinson-Douglas v(“plaintiff’) brings this action against her
former employer, defendant Coastal International Security, Inc. (“defendant” or “Coastal”)
to challenge her allegedly unlawful termination. In her amended complaint, plaintiff
contends that Coastal violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e
et seq., and the D.C. Human Rights Act (“DCHRA”), D.C. Code § 2-1401.01 et seq., by
discriminating against her on the basis of sex and retaliating against her for engaging in
statutorily protected activities See generally Am. Compl. [Dkt. # 16].
Coastal counters that plaintiff Was terminated not on the basis of sex or as an act of
retaliation, but because plaintiff failed a security test and committed various infractions of
company policy While stationed as a security guard at the Department of Commerce
(“DOC”). See Def.’s Mot. Summ. J. (“Def.’s Mot.”) l [Dkt. # 12]. Coastal has thus moved
for summary judgment on all claims. Upon consideration of the parties’ submissions and
the entire record, defendant’s motion for summary judgment is GRANTED.

here, the DOC. See Def.’s Mot. App. A, Decl. of Josephine Coker (“Col
