See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's grant of summary judg-

ment in favor of the Defendant in her civil rights action, in which

she alleged she suffered employment discrimination based on her

race and her gender. 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. Emel v. West, No.
CA-97-130-A (E.D. Va. Aug. 26, 1997). 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
