See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the district court's orders granting

Defendants' motions for summary judgment, dismissing her action,

and denying her motion for reconsideration. We have reviewed the

record and the district court's opinion and find no reversible

error. Accordingly, we grant in forma pauperis status and affirm
on the reasoning of the district court. Applegate v. Fray, No. CA-
95-814 (E.D. Va. Apr. 19 & May 17, 1996). 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
