Cynthia METIVIER Plaintiff - Appellant v. David L. BERNHARDT, Secretary of the United States Department of the Interior Defendant - Appellee
[Unpublished]
In this employment discrimination action, Cynthia Metivier appeals the district court's 1 adverse grant of summary judgment. Initially, we conclude the district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Metivier's request to strike certain evidence, see Gannon Int'l, Ltd. v. Blocker, 684 F.3d 785, 793 (8th Cir. 2012) (reviewing admission of evidence for consideration at summary judgment stage for abuse of discretion); or by disallowing two of Metivier's filings based on her failure to comply with local rules, see Reasonover v. St. Louis Cty., 447 F.3d 569, 579 (8th Cir. 2006) (stating district courts have broad discretion in enforcing local rules). Having carefully reviewed the record and the arguments on appeal, we conclude the district court did not err in granting summary judgment. See Torgerson v. City of Rochester, 643 F.3d 1031, 1042 (8th Cir. 2011) (en banc) (reviewing de novo grant of summary judgment). Accordingly, we affirm the judgment. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
