Before DAVIS, HALL* and SMITH, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:**

     In this Title VII/1981 action alleging that the plaintiff was

indefinitely suspended from her family medicine residency program

by the defendants because of race and national origin, we conclude

that the district court correctly granted summary judgment.       This

case is almost on all fours with a recent decision of this court,

two dozen negative evaluations of her performance by physicians she

was assigned to work with.   Plaintiff produced no affidavits from

physicians with whom she worked during her residence who found that

she was qualified to continue in the residency program. Therefore,

essentially for the reasons stated by the district court, we

conclude that even if Ms. Farizani made out a prima facie case of

discrimination, she failed to show that the stated reason for her

indefinite suspension was pretextual.

     AFFIRMED.
