Orrick, J.
OPINION AND ORDER
Plaintiff, Marian Lim, an Asian female formerly employed by the defendant, Citizens Savings and Loan Association (Citizens), charges Citizens with discriminating against her, first, by failing to promote her and, second, by discharging her. She brings this suit under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq.), as well as under 42 U.S.C. § 1981 , and moves to certify a class under Rule 23(a) and 23(b)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. This case is here on plaintiff’s motion for class certification and defendant’s motion for summary judgment with respect to plaintiff’s individual claim. For the reasons hereinafter stated, the Court denies the motion to certify the class and grants defendant’s motion for summary judgment.
I.
The original complaint in this action was filed on August 29, 1975; subsequently, plaintiff filed an amendment adding reinstatement to her demands for relief. Specifically, the class complaint on behalf of female and Asian employees charges discriminatory practices with respect to, inter alia, compensation, promotion, testing and rating, leaves of absence, and opportunities for on-the-job training.
