PER CURIAM:

     Brenda Smith 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 grant leave

to proceed in forma pauperis and affirm on the reasoning of the

district court. See Smith v. Appleton Papers, Inc., No. CA-01-965-

2 (E.D. Va. Apr. 3, 2002).    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
