PER CURIAM:

      Cynthia    Critchfield      appeals   the   district     court’s   order

dismissing her complaint against the United States Drug Enforcement

Agency arising out of the DEA’s failure to provide Critchfield with

a   security    clearance    or   permit    her   to   begin   work   for   its

contractor, Datatrec Information Services, prior to issuance of a

security clearance.         We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by

the district court.         See Critchfield v. U.S. Drug Enforcement

Agency, No. CA-02-1456-A (E.D. Va. Jan. 28, 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
