28 U.S.C. § 1291 and we affirm.
Because the record does not contain evidence demonstrating pretext,
Clifford cannot establish a genuine issue of material fact regarding whether her
termination was unlawful. See Hawn v. Exec. Jet Mgmt., Inc., 615 F.3d 1151, 1155
(9th Cir. 2010); see also Vasquez v. Cnty. of Los Angeles, 349 F.3d 634, 641 (9th
Cir. 2004), as amended. The inferences Clifford urged us to make do not “have
roots in the evidence. . . .” Mueller v. Auker, No. 11-35351, - - - F.3d - - -, 2012
WL 3892960 at *8 (9th Cir. Sept. 10, 2012).
