UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
For the Fifth Circuit
No. 02-60563
Summary Calendar
JO ANN MAHAFFEY,
Plaintiff-Appellant,
VERSUS
MISSISSIPPI DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE, FISHERIES
and PARKS,
Defendant-Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Mississippi
l:00-CV-503-D-A
January 23, 2003
Before DAVIS, WIENER and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Mahaffey appeals the district court’s dismissal on summary
judgment of her Title VII sex discrimination action against the
Mississippi Department of Wildlife. The only significant issue on
appeal is whether the district court erred in finding that Mahaffey

failed to produce summary judgment evidence from which a jury could
infer that defendant’s stated reasons(superior qualifications)for
hiring the male applicant instead of her was a pretext for
discrimination. Our review of the record persuades us that the
district court correctly concluded that Mahaffey failed to produce
evidence from which a jury could infer that the defendant’s reason
for hiring the male applicant instead of Mahaffey was a pretext for
gender discrimination.
Essentially for the reasons assigned by the district court in
its careful June 20, 2002 opinion, we affirm its judgment.
AFFIRMED.
