PER CURIAM:

     Beverly F. Wideman appeals the district court’s order granting

summary judgment to Defendant on her claim of employment discrim-

ination and retaliation based on race. We have reviewed the record

and the district court’s opinion adopting the magistrate judge’s

report and recommendation and find no reversible error. According-

ly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.   Wideman v.

South Carolina Dep’t of Soc. Servs., No. CA-99-746-8 (D.S.C. Feb.

15, 2001). We grant Wideman’s motion to waive 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.
