MEMORANDUM **
Petra Campos appeals the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of Portland Public Schools (“PPS”) on Campos’ claims under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983 and 2000e. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 , and we affirm.
Campos claims she was not selected for the position of Assistant Director of the Even Start program in retaliation for filing a complaint with the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries (“BOLI”) and for filing an internal grievance against a colleague, in violation of 42 U.S.C. § 2000e. Campos has not established a prima facie case of retaliation regarding the BOLI complaint alone, because PPS selected another candidate for the position before Campos filed the complaint. Thus, Campos has failed to establish that there was a causal connection between the filing of her complaint and her nonselection. See Little v. Windermere Relocation, Inc., 301 F.3d 958, 969 (9th Cir.2002) (to establish a prima facie case of retaliation, a Title VII plaintiff must show “1) her involvement in a protected activity, 2) an adverse employ *342 ment action taken against her, and 3) a causal link between the two.”).
