Bridget Allen, Appellant Pro Se. Anita Claire Snyder, OFFICE OF THE
UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Alexandria, Virginia, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Bridget Allen appeals the magistrate judge’s order denying her
motion to amend her complaint and the district court’s order
dismissing, for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, her defamation
and intentional infliction of emotional distress claims. We have
reviewed the record and find no reversible error. We dismiss
Allen’s appeal of the denial of her motion to amend for failure to
timely object to the magistrate judge’s order and for failure to
file a transcript of the hearing on the matter. Furthermore, we
affirm dismissal of Allen’s defamation and intentional infliction
of emotional distress claims for the reasons stated by the district
court. See Allen v. United States, No. CA-03-701-A (E.D. Va. July
21, 2003). 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 IN PART; DISMISSED IN PART
