L.L.P., Washington, D.C., for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

      Laura Ibanez appeals the district court’s order granting

summary judgment for Verizon Virginia, Incorporated, in Ibanez’s

employment discrimination action.        We have reviewed the record and

find no reversible error.      Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons

stated by the district court. See Ibanez v. Verizon Virginia, Inc.,

No. CA-02-1103-A (E.D. Va. filed Feb. 25, 2003 & entered Feb. 26,

2003). Although we grant Ibanez’s motion to file a pro se appendix,

we deny her motions to file a formal brief and for oral argument.

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
