PER CURIAM:
Diane S. Sherman appeals the magistrate judge’s order * grant-
ing summary judgment in favor of Bell Atlantic-Virginia, Inc., in
this employment discrimination action in which Sherman alleged
violations of the Family Medical Leave Act. We have reviewed the
parties’ briefs, the joint appendix, the magistrate judge’s rea-
soning stated from the bench, and the judge’s order and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the
magistrate judge. Sherman v. Bell Atlantic-Virginia, Inc., No. CA-
99-2132-2 (E.D. Va. Aug. 2, 2000). 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
