See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Rosalie A. Smith appeals the district court’s order dismissing
her civil action. We have reviewed the record and the district
court’s opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate
judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the
reasoning of the district court. See Smith v. Metropolitan Life
Ins. Co., No. CA-99-26-3-V (W.D.N.C. Sept. 5, 2001). We dispense
with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are ade-
quately presented in the materials before the court and argument
would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
