PER CURIAM.

Sharon Meeks appeals from the order of the District Court1 granting summary judgment to her former employer the Arkansas Department of Human Services in her

1 The Honorable Kristine G. Baker, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas.

Title VII retaliation action. After de novo review, we conclude that the District Court did not err. See Hutton v. Maynard, 812 F.3d 679, 683–84 (8th Cir. 2016) (setting forth the evidence necessary to survive a motion for summary judgment on a Title VII retaliation claim); see also Conolly v. Clark, 457 F.3d 872, 876 (8th Cir. 2006) (“[A] properly supported motion for summary judgment is not defeated by self-serving affidavits.”).

We affirm the judgment of the District Court.
