Opinion

Debra Novak-Scott, a City of Phoenix employee, appeals the district court’s summary judgment dismissing her Title VII retaliation claim against the City of Phoenix. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 , and we affirm. We review a district court’s grant of summary judgment de novo. Head v. Glacier, 413 F.3d 1053, 1058 (9th Cir.2005).

The district court properly concluded that Ms. Novak-Scott failed to establish a prima facie case of retaliation. She did not suffer the type of significant harm that would dissuade a reasonable worker from making or supporting a charge of discrimination. Burlington N. & Santa Fe Ry. Co. v. White, 548 U.S. 53, 60 , 126 S.Ct. 2405 , 165 L.Ed.2d 345 (2006). Accordingly, for the reasons stated by the district court, summary judgment was properly granted for the City of Phoenix.

AFFIRMED.
