PER CURIAM:

           Carolyn M. Richards appeals from the district court’s

order entering summary judgment in favor of the Defendant on her

employment    discrimination   action      alleging   a      hostile   work

environment   and   retaliation.      We   have   reviewed    the   record,

including the parties’ briefs, and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district

court.   See Richards v. Rumsfeld, No. CA-02-1114-A (E.D. Va. filed

Feb. 25, 2003; entered Feb. 26, 2003).            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
