OPINION
WILKINSON, Chief Judge:
Appellant Nyla Butters brought suit against her employer, Vance International, claiming that Vance discriminated against her on the basis of gender. The district court held that Vance was entitled to immunity from Butters’ suit under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, 28 U.S.C. §§ 1602-1611, because Vance’s client, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, was responsible for Butters not being promoted. Finding no error, we affirm.
