See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order denying her

motion for a continuance of the hearing to consider the motion to

dismiss. We have reviewed the record and the district court's opin-

ion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the

reasoning of the district court. Ives v. Adams, No. CA-97-290-A
(E.D. Va. June 23, 1997). We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
