Docket

*1 Before: O’SCANNLAIN, LEAVY, and CLIFTON, Circuit Judges.

Sandie P. Chu appeals pro se from the district court’s summary judgment in her employment action alleging race and national origin discrimination in violation *2 of Title VII. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, Hawn v. Exec. Jet Mgmt., Inc. , 615 F.3d 1151, 1155 (9th Cir. 2010), and we affirm.

The district court properly granted summary judgment on Chu’s Title VII race discrimination claim because Chu failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether similarly situated employees were treated more favorably or whether defendant’s asserted non-discriminatory reason for involuntarily reassigning her was pretextual. See id. at 1155-56 (providing framework for analyzing a discrimination claim under Title VII); see also Earl v. Nielsen Media Research, Inc. , 658 F.3d 1108, 1112-13 (9th Cir. 2011) (discussing ways plaintiff can demonstrate pretext and explaining that, although plaintiff’s burden is not onerous, plaintiff must produce specific and substantial facts to create a triable dispute as to pretext).

AFFIRMED.
