1Opinion of the Court
HENLEY, Senior Circuit Judge.
Patricia Jetton was employed by McDonnell Douglas for eleven years before being laid off. She brought this action pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e to 2000e-17, alleging that her discharge was the result of sex discrimination. The district court 1 granted summary judgment to McDonnell Douglas, finding that Jetton had failed to respond to the company’s motion for summary judgment and concluding that Jetton had failed to establish any genuine issue of fact for trial. We affirm.
