   Brown was told by a Senior Vice President at the Bank, Raymond Albright, a white male, that she was being reassigned to the Contracts Administration Division. Brown objected, believing that the contracts division was less prestigious, and that since she had done a brief stint there in the beginning of her career, that she would not learn anything. Brown believed the reason for her transfer was racial and sexual discrimination. Brown is a 50 year old black female. She sued under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, arguing that her immediate supervisor, Carl Leik, a white male, and Albright, were discriminating against her.
   
   This court disagreed finding her reasoning unpersuasive and finding as a matter of law that Title VII suits in the federal sector require an employee to prove an adverse employment action. Because there was no change in Brown's salary or benefits the court ruled that the reassignment was not adverse.
