affirm on any ground supported by the record. Petroliam Nasional Berhad v.

GoDaddy.com, Inc., 737 F.3d 546, 549 (9th Cir. 2013). Upon review, we affirm

for the reasons set forth below.

      In Nevada, an employer has a general duty to use reasonable care to ensure

that an employee is properly trained and supervised in the performance of his or

her position. Vinci v. Las Vegas Sands, Inc., 984 P.2d 750, 751 (Nev. 1999); Hall

v. SSF, Inc., 930 P.2d 94, 99 (Nev. 1996). As to supervision, Smith's deposition

testimony shows that his supervisors at UPS took reasonable and proportionate

steps to address his complaints about other employees. As to training, UPS put

forward evidence that it promulgated anti-harassment policies to its employees and

trained its supervisors regarding harassment, and there is nothing in the record to

suggest that the training or policies were deficient. Even drawing all reasonable

inferences in Smith’s favor, the record will not support the conclusion that UPS

breached its duty of care. Summary judgment was proper because Smith failed to

raise a triable issue of fact. Celotex Corp. V. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 322-23 (1986).

      AFFIRMED.
