PER CURIAM:

           Paulette     Harris   appeals    the    district      court’s   order

granting   summary      judgment     in    favor     of    Appellee   Creative

Hairdressers,   Inc.,    d/b/a     Hair   Cuttery,    in   her    civil    action

alleging racial discrimination under 42 U.S.C. § 1981 (2000) and

negligent hiring and retention under Maryland law.                  We find no

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

the district court in its thorough opinion. See Harris v. Creative

Hairdressers, Inc., No. CA-04-1992-JFM (D. Md. Sept. 2, 2005).                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
