PER CURIAM.
Phyllis Toston appeals the district court’s 1 adverse grant of summary judgment
in this Title VII action Toston brought against her former employer, the Missouri
Division of Employment Security. Following careful review, we agree with the
district court that Toston presented nothing in support of her bare allegation that her
employer’s legitimate reason for terminating her--poor performance--was a pretext
for race discrimination, see Riggs v. Kansas City Mo. Pub. Sch. Dist., 385 F.3d 1164,
-- 1 of 2 --
-2-
1166 (8th Cir. 2004), or retaliation, see Griffith v. City of Des Moines, 387 F.3d 733,
738 (8th Cir. 2004). In addition, to the extent she pleaded a hostile-work-
environment claim, Toston failed to show harassment pervasive or severe enough to
affect a term, condition, or privilege of her employment. See id. at 739. Accordingly,
we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
