PER CURIAM:
Dione M. Thomas appeals the district court’s orders
granting defendants’ motions to dismiss her second amended
complaint in this employment discrimination action. We have
reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly,
we affirm the dismissal of count I for the reasons stated by the
district court. We likewise affirm the dismissal of count II,
but as modified to reflect dismissal of that count without
prejudice. Thomas v. Sotera Defense Solutions, Inc., No.
1:15-cv-00596-CMH-MSN (E.D. Va. filed July 19, 2016 & entered
July 20, 2016; July 27, 2016). We grant leave to proceed in
forma pauperis and dispense with oral argument because the facts
and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials
before this court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
AFFIRMED IN PART;
