Greisen

MEMORANDUM **

Plaintiff Julie Greisen appeals from a summary judgment in favor of Defendant City of North Las Vegas in this Title VII action. We review de novo, Qwest Commc’ns Inc. v. City of Berkeley, 433 F.3d 1253 , 1256 (9th Cir.2006), and affirm.

Plaintiff alleges that Defendant fired her in retaliation for her support of Sanchez. She was interviewed informally by Tarwater shortly after Sanchez filed an internal complaint of harassment, but Plaintiff had no further involvement in Sanchez’ case.

To the extent that Plaintiff bases her claim on the participation clause of 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-3(a), her argument is foreclosed by Vasconcelos v. Meese, 907 F.2d 111, 113 (9th Cir.1990) (holding that the participation clause of § 2000e-3 applies only to EEOC proceedings). Plaintiff did not participate in any proceedings concerning Sanchez’ formal EEOC complaint.

With respect to the opposition clause of 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-3(a), the record discloses no material issue of fact that would demonstrate a causal link between her activities — which we assume for the purpose of our decision were protected activities under the statute — and her termination.
