ON APPEAL FROM THE
UNITED STATES DISTRICT
COURT FOR THE EASTERN
DISTRICT OF TENNESSEE
BEFORE: NORRIS, BATCHELDER, and SUTTON, Circuit Judges.
ALICE M. BATCHELDER, Circuit Judge. Kelsey R. Wood alleges that Technology
for Energy Corporation (“TEC”) violated the Equal Pay Act, 29 U.S.C. § 206(d), et seq.; the
Tennessee Human Rights Act, Tenn. Code Ann. § 4-21-101, et seq.; and Tenn. Code Ann. § 50-
2-202 when it paid her a salary and bonuses lower than those of her male coworkers. The district
court entered an order granting TEC’s motion for summary judgment with a memorandum
opinion setting forth the reasons for its decision. On appeal, Wood argues that the district court
erred by granting TEC’s motion for summary judgment because her salary and bonus violated
the Equal Pay Act.
After carefully reviewing the record, the applicable law, and the parties’ briefs, we are
convinced that the district court did not err in its conclusions. The district court’s opinion
carefully and correctly sets out the undisputed facts and the law governing the issues raised, and
clearly articulates the reasons underlying its decision. Thus, issuance of a full written opinion by

this court would serve no useful purpose. Accordingly, for the reasons stated in the district
court’s opinion, we AFFIRM.
