Defendants,
LOWE’S HOME CENTERS INC.,
Defendant-Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Texas, Beaumont
1:02-CV-475

also claims of intentional infliction of emotional distress under
Texas state law. Our de novo review of the record leads to the
inescapable conclusion that Reed failed to establish a prima facie
case of discrimination and that her proof and allegations with
respect to her state law tort claim cannot survive summary
judgment. The judgment of the district court is affirmed
essentially for the reasons stated in the district court’s order
dated July 16, 2003.
AFFIRMED
