MEMORANDUM **
Mary L. Edwards (“Edwards”) appeals the district court’s summary judgment under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56(c) on her claim for disability discrimination under section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, 29 U.S.C. § 794 . Because the parties are familiar with the facts and procedural history we do not include them here, except as necessary to explain our disposition. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and we affirm.
We review de novo the district court’s grant of a motion for summary judgment. Dark v. Curry County, 451 F.3d 1078 , 1082 n. 2 (9th Cir.2006). In determining whether summary judgment was properly granted, “[w]e view the evidence in the light most favorable to the nonmoving party and then determine whether there remains a genuine issue of material fact and whether the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.... [T]he burden on the nonmoving party is not a heavy one; the nonmoving party simply is required to show specific facts, as opposed to general allegations, that present a genuine issue worthy of trial.” Id.
