MEMORANDUM **
Mary F. Bucknor-Smartt appeals pro se the district court’s summary judgment dismissing her Title VII and 42 U.S.C. §§ 1981 , 1983, 1985 claims alleging race, age and national origin discrimination by the University and Community College System of Nevada and college officials. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 . We review de novo the district court’s summary judgment, Kohler v. Inter-Tel Techs., 244 F.3d 1167, 1171 (9th Cir.2001), and we affirm.
The district court properly granted summary judgment on Bucknor-Smartt’s Title VII claims because she failed to timely file her complaint after receiving her September 16, 1998 right-to-sue letter from the EEOC, and she failed to pursue her administrative remedies for subsequent claims as set forth in 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5. See Stache v. Int'l Union of Bricklayers & Allied Craftsmen, AFL-CIO, 852 F.2d 1231,1233 (9th Cir.1988).
Bucknor-Smartt also failed to raise a genuine issue of material fact as to whether alleged discrimination occurring after issuance of the EEOC letter was “like or reasonably related” to her prior complaint so as to invoke the “continuing violation” theory. See Green v. Los Angeles County…
