See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

        Belinda Parker appeals the district court’s order dismissing

her civil action alleging employment discrimination.    We have re-

viewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no

reversible error.    We find that the district court properly denied

Parker’s claims because she failed to exhaust her administrative

remedies, see 29 C.F.R. § 1614.105 (1999); failed to timely file

suit in the district court, see 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-16(c) (1994);

Brown v. General Servs. Admin., 425 U.S. 820, 829-32 (1976); and

failed to allege a cognizable adverse employment action.    See Page

v. Bolger, 645 F.2d 227, 233 (4th Cir. 1981). Accordingly, we af-

firm.    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.
