PER CURIAM:

     Martha K. Ball appeals the district court’s order granting

summary judgment to Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., in her 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 Ball v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., No. CA-01-

359-3-T (W.D.N.C. Nov. 1, 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
