PER CURIAM:

     In this personal injury action, Betty B. Welch appeals the

district court’s order granting summary judgment in favor of Wal-

Mart Stores, Inc.    We have reviewed the parties’ briefs, the joint

appendix, and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible

error.   Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district

court.   Welch v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., No. CA-00-776-3-19 (D.S.C.

Sept. 29, 2000).    We grant Appellant’s motion to submit the case on

briefs without oral argument because the facts and legal conten-

tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court

and argument will not aid the decisional process.




                                                            AFFIRMED
