PER CURIAM:
Virginia Rhodes appeals the district court’s order striking
her response to the employer’s motion for summary judgment and
granting summary judgment in favor of her employer in this age
discrimination action. We have reviewed the parties’ briefs, the
joint appendix, the first amended supplemental appendix, and the
district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accord-
ingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Rhodes
v. Nortel, No. CA-98-761-5-BR (E.D.N.C. Nov. 23, 1999). We dis-
pense 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
