Gloria K. Sorge, Appellant Pro Se. Janet Rehnquist, 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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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: Appellant appeals from the district court's order dismissing the civil action she filed against her former employer. We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Sorge v. Cohen, No. CA-96-1737-A (E.D. Va. Sept. 2, 1997). We deny Appellant's motion for oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate- rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
