                             - 2 -
PER CURIAM:

              Bridget Allen appeals the district court’s order granting

the Defendant’s motion to dismiss her civil rights and employment

discrimination action filed under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1981, 1985, 1986

(2000).   We have reviewed the record and conclude the district

court   did    not   abuse   its   discretion   or   discriminate   when   it

dismissed Allen’s complaint before holding a pre-trial conference

under Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(a).            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 in the

decisional process.


                                                                    AFFIRMED
