PER CURIAM:
Willa A. Pembleton appeals the district court’s order adopting the recommendation
of the magistrate judge and granting summary judgment in favor of her former employer,
the Secretary of the Air Force, in this employment discrimination action. We have
reviewed the record and find no reversible error in the district court’s determinations that
Pembleton failed to exhaust her administrative remedies as to any failure-to-accommodate
and termination claims and that her remaining exhausted claims failed to state a prima facie
case. Accordingly, we deny Pembleton’s pending motions and affirm the district court’s
order. Pembleton v. Sec’y of the Air Force, No. 3:22-cv-03989-MGL (D.S.C. Mar. 19,
2025). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are
adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
AFFIRMED
