ROBERT G. ULRICH, Presiding Judge.
Gail Smith appeals the judgment of the Jackson County Circuit Court. The court granted Aquila, Inc. (Aquila) summary judgment on Ms. Smith’s claim that her termination from employment was the result of racial discrimination. In her sole point on appeal, Ms. Smith claims the summary judgment was error because whether her termination was based on her race was a genuine issue of material fact. The point is granted, and the judgment is reversed.
