PER CURIAM:

     Bettina M. Scott appeals from the entry of summary judgment in

favor of the Defendant in this employment discrimination action

against the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Adminis-

tration (“SAMHSA”). We have reviewed the record and the district’s

opinion and find no reversible error.    Accordingly, we affirm on

the reasoning of the district court.   See Scott v. Shalala, No. CA-

99-2230-S (D. Md. Dec. 21, 1999).   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
