ON APPEAL FROM THE

COURT FOR THE EASTERN
DISTRICT OF KENTUCKY
O P I N I O N
BEFORE: NORRIS, COLE, and COOK, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM. Plaintiff-Appellant Gwen Jones appeals the district court’s grant of
summary judgment to Defendant-Appellee Kroger, Inc., on Jones’ claim of retaliation brought under
the Kentucky Civil Rights Act (“KCRA”). Ky. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 344.280. The district court found
that Jones did not establish a prima facie case of retaliation under the KCRA because she failed to
show a causal connection between her KCRA-protected activity and her discharge.
This Court reviews a district court’s grant of summary judgment de novo. Cincinnati Ins.
Co. v. Zen Design Group, Ltd., 329 F.3d 546, 551 (6th Cir. 2003). We have reviewed the record and
the parties’ submissions. For substantially the same reasons set forth in the district court’s
comprehensive opinion dated October 27, 2005, we AFFIRM the grant of summary judgment.
