PER CURIAM:
Cathy B. Branch appeals the magistrate judge’s order granting
Defendants’ motion for summary judgment and dismissing Branch’s
employment discrimination action. * We have reviewed the record and
the magistrate judge’s opinion and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the magistrate judge.
Branch v. City of Richmond, No. CA-01-366-3 (E.D. Va. Dec. 4,
2001). 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
