Carolyn Lidge-Myrtil (“Lidge”) appeals from the district court’s 1 grant of summary judgment in favor of Deere & Company (“Deere”) on her race discrimination claims. We agree with the district court that although Lidge fashioned a prima facie case of discrimination, Deere rebutted the presump-tión by offering a legitimate, non-diserimina-tory reason for its failure to promote her.
