See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Elaine M. Foster appeals from the district court’s order

granting Defendant’s motion to dismiss Foster’s claim of uncon-

stitutional deprivation of property.   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. See

Foster v. Columbia Gas Transmission Corp., No. CA-00-76-1 (N.D.W.

Va. Aug. 10, 2000).   We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-

rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
