The University of Texas School of Law has prevailed on appeal in a racial-discrimination lawsuit brought against a former staffer who was fired in 2010.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit affirmed a lower court’s summary judgment against plaintiff Chrystie Nguyen. The unpublished opinion concluded that the Nguyen failed to identify a “similarly-situated employee who was treated more favorably.” She also failed to show that she was discharged from her job because of her race.
