Description

Plaintiff-Appellant Linda A. Timmerman was terminated from her position as branch manager at U.S. Bank after bank management discovered that she had refunded at least $1,099 worth of overdraft fees to two subordinates bank accounts. In response, Ms. Timmerman brought sex and age discrimination claims against U.S. Bank pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ("Title VII") and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 ("ADEA"). After U.S. Bank brought several state law counterclaims against Ms. Timmerman, she amended her complaint to add an abuse of process claim against U.S. Bank under state law, retaliation claims against U.S. Bank under both Title VII and the ADEA, and conspiracy claims against U.S. Bank under 42 U.S.C. § 1985(2). Following discovery, the district court granted U.S. Banks motion for summary judgment as to each of M s. Timmermans federal claims and refused to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the parties remaining state law claims. See Timmerman v. U.S. Bank, No. 04-CV-01903, 2006 WL 894894, at *1 (D. Colo. Mar. 31, 2006). This appeal followed. Our jurisdiction arises under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm the district courts grant of summary judgment.
