Appeal from the United States District Court
For the Eastern District of Louisiana
USDC No. 2:03-CV-2587-K
----------------------
Before GARZA, DeMOSS, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Linda P. Adams (hereafter “Adams”) filed suit against John E.
Potter, the Postmaster General of the United States Postal Service
(“the Postmaster General”), in the United States District Court for
the Eastern District of Louisiana alleging in a one-page complaint
that her employer, the U.S. Postal Service, abolished her job as an
operator and failed to grant her a modified position because of her
race, color, gender, and in retaliation for previous complaints

-- 1 of 2 --

made by her to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The
Postmaster General answered, denying the charges of Adams’s
complaint and further asserting the defenses of failure to exhaust
administrative remedies and lack of jurisdiction. The parties
agreed in writing to permit the magistrate judge to resolve the
controversy. The Postmaster General moved for summary judgment and
the magistrate judge granted the same. Adams timely appealed to
this Court.
We have carefully reviewed the briefs, the record excerpts,
and relevant portions of the record itself. For the reasons stated
by the magistrate judge in her “Order and Reasons” filed under date
of May 27, 2004, we affirm the final judgment entered on that same
day which dismissed all of Adams’s claims against the Postmaster
General with prejudice.
AFFIRMED.
