MEMORANDUM *
Gigi Castillo (“Castillo”) appeals the district court’s grant of summary judgment to Cari M. Dominguez, Chairwoman of the EEOC (“Dominguez”). 1 This court has jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 . As the facts are familiar to the parties, we do not recite them here except as necessary to understand our disposition. Reviewing the district court’s decision de novo, see Vasquez v. County of Los Angeles, 349 F.3d 634, 639 (9th Cir.2003), we affirm in part and reverse in part.
Castillo, an Asian, Filipina woman, alleged in a 1999 complaint (1) that she had been discriminated against by the decision of Patrick Matarazzo (“Matarazzo”), the director of the San Diego Area Office of the EEOC, to promote Joyce Cooper instead of her to GS-13 Supervisory Investigator; (2) that Matarazzo’s failure to promote her constituted retaliation for prior complaints; and (3) that she had been subjected to a hostile work environment. Castillo challenges the district court’s deci *56 sion on each claim.
We agree with the district court that Castillo fails to raise a “genuine issue of material fact,” Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 248 , 106 S.Ct. 2505 , 91 L.Ed.2d 202…
