PER CURIAM:

     Tammantha P. Shaw appeals the district court's order denying

the motion for a continuance and dismissing the case without preju-

dice for failing to prosecute. We have reviewed the record and the

district court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly,

we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Shaw v. United
Parcel Serv., Inc., No. CA-97-150 (E.D. Va. June 10, 1997). We

dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions

are adequately presented in the materials before the court and

argument would not aid the decisional process.


                                                          AFFIRMED
