MEMORANDUM **

Valerija Kachavos appeals pro se from the district court’s summary judgment in her action alleging injury from her employment with Saint Matthew’s Churches. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 . We review de novo, Davis v. Yageo Corp., 481 F.3d 661, 673 (9th Cir.2007), and we affirm.
