Robert R. Weed, THE LAW OFFICES OF ROBERT R. WEED, Sterling, Virginia, for Appellant. Paul J. McNulty, United States Attorney, Gerard J. Mene, Assistant United States Attorney, Alexandria, Virginia, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM:

Cynthia Critchfield appeals the district court’s order

dismissing her complaint against the United States Drug Enforcement

Agency arising out of the DEA’s failure to provide Critchfield with

a security clearance or permit her to begin work for its

contractor, Datatrec Information Services, prior to issuance of a

security clearance. We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by

the district court. See Critchfield v. U.S. Drug Enforcement

Agency, No. CA-02-1456-A (E.D. Va. Jan. 28, 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
