PER CURIAM:

     Essie Jeanette Delaney Manns appeals the district court’s

order dismissing her civil action alleging employment discrimina-

tion. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion

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

soning of the district court.    See Manns v. West, No. CA-99-685

(W.D. Va. Oct. 24, 2000).   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
