United States DC Circuit

Summary judgment for defendants on plaintiff's claims that her employing agency discriminated against her on the basis of race and age when it selected a younger, white woman for the position she sought is affirmed where the district court correctly found that plaintiff failed to plead facts sufficient to refute the employing agency's proffered non-discriminatory reason for its decision.
