PER CURIAM:

     Dorothy   D.    Hatchett   appeals   the   district   court’s   order

granting Appellee’s Motion to Dismiss, or in the alternative,

Motion for Summary Judgment.     We have reviewed the record and find

no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the

district court.     See Hatchett v. Potter, No. CA-00-461 (E.D. Va.

Dec. 7, 2001).      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.
