ON APPEAL FROM THE
UNITED STATES DISTRICT
COURT FOR THE EASTERN
DISTRICT OF TENNESSEE
BEFORE: BATCHELDER and GRIFFIN, Circuit Judges; GADOLA*, District Judge.
ALICE M. BATCHELDER, Circuit Judge. Plaintiff-Appellant Jean Gilchrist Brock
appeals from the magistrate judge’s final order granting summary judgment in favor of Defendants-
Appellees Clement Dale Potter and the State of Tennessee on Brock’s claims of discrimination
under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq., violation of her
constitutional right to intimate association pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, and unlawful discharge in
violation of the Tennessee Human Rights Act, T.C.A. § 4-21-101 et seq. After carefully reviewing
the record, the applicable law, the parties’ briefs and counsels’ arguments, we are convinced that the
magistrate judge’s order contains no reversible error either in its determination that no genuine
issues of material fact remain for trial or in its conclusions of law. Because the issuance of a full

written opinion would serve no jurisprudential purpose and would be duplicative, we AFFIRM the
grant of summary judgment on the basis of the magistrate judge’s well-reasoned opinion.
