UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
No. 02-20762
GEORGIA VILANDOS,
Plaintiff-Appellant,
versus
SAM’S CLUB WAL-MART STORES, INC.
Defendant-Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
(H-01-CV-2001)
Before BARKSDALE, DeMOSS, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
For this diversity action, Georgia Vilandos appeals the
summary judgment awarded Sam’s Club on her claims of false
imprisonment and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
A summary judgment, reviewed de novo, is appropriate if there
is no genuine issue of material fact and the movant is entitled to
a judgment as a matter of law. E.g., Thomas Barton Lodge II, Ltd.,
174 F.3d 636, 644 (5th Cir. 1999); FED. R. CIV. P. 56(c). The
record and inferences based on it are viewed in the light most

favorable to the non-movant. E.g., Morris v. Covan Worldwide
Moving, Inc., 144 F.3d 377, 380 (5th Cir. 1998).
Having reviewed the briefs and the pertinent parts of the
record, the judgment is affirmed for essentially the reasons stated
by the district court.
AFFIRMED
