FOR PLAINTIFF-APPELLANT:           Carole Kittrell, pro se, Brooklyn,
                                   New York.

FOR DEFENDANTS-APPELLEES:          Kristin M. Helmers, Michael J.
                                   Pastor, Assistant Corporation
                                   Counsel, for Michael A. Cardozo,
                              Corporation Counsel for the City of
                              New York, New York, New York.

          Appeal from the United States District Court for the

Eastern District of New York (Garaufis, J.).
          UPON DUE CONSIDERATION, IT IS ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND

DECREED that the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.

          Plaintiff-appellant Carole Kittrell, pro se, appeals
from the district court's judgment in favor of defendants-

appellees, dismissing her age and race discrimination and hostile

work environment claims under the Age Discrimination in

Employment Act of 1967, 29 U.S.C. § 621 et seq.; Title VII of the

Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq.; the New York

State Human Rights Law, N.Y. Exec. Law § 290 et seq.; and New

York City Human Rights Law, N.Y.C. Admin. Code §§ 8-101 to 131.

In a May 31, 2013 order, the district court adopted Magistrate

Judge Roanne L. Mann's report and recommendation of March 14,

2013, and granted defendants' motion for summary judgment.

Judgment dismissing the complaint was entered on May 31, 2013.

We assume the parties' familiarity with the underlying facts, the

procedural history of the case, and the issues on appeal.

          We review a grant of summary judgment de novo,

resolving all ambiguities and drawing all inferences in favor of

the non-moving party.   Nagle v. Marron, 663 F.3d 100, 104-05 (2d

Cir. 2011).   Reliance upon conclusory statements or mere

allegations, however, is not sufficient to defeat a summary

judgment motion.   See Ying Jing Gan v. City of New York, 996 F.2d
522, 532-33 (2d Cir. 1993); Fed R. Civ. P. 56(e).   After an


                               -2-
independent review of the record and relevant case law, we affirm

for substantially the reasons stated by the magistrate judge in

her thorough March 14, 2013 report and recommendation, which the

district court adopted over Kittrell's timely objection, in its

May 31, 2013 order.

          We have considered Kittrell's arguments and conclude
they are without merit.   For the foregoing reasons, we AFFIRM the

judgment of the district court.

                               FOR THE COURT:
                               Catherine O'Hagan Wolfe, Clerk
