Civil Case - employment discrimination. District court's grant of summary judgment on race and retaliation claims are affirmed. Employee did not establish that the actions taken against her individually or cumulatively constitute or rise to the level of an adverse employment action or a material employment disadvantage on the race claim. Employee has not met her burden under Burlington N & Santa Fe Ry v. White that the employer's retaliatory actions were materially adverse such that a reasonable employee in her situation would have been dissuaded from complaining about discrimination.
