Barbara Groshans, Appellant Pro Se.   Dennis Edward Szybala,
Assistant United States Attorney, Alexandria, Virginia, for
Appellees.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Barbara Groshans appeals the district court’s order dismissing

her civil action.   We have reviewed the record and the district

court’s opinion and find no reversible error.      Accordingly, we

affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Groshans v. England,

No. CA-01-1438-A (E.D. Va. filed Mar. 28, 2002; entered Mar. 29,

2002 & filed May 3, 2002; entered May 6, 2002).   Groshans’ motion

to strike the Appellees’ brief is denied.    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
