GERALDINE J. WILLIAMS,

Plaintiff - Appellant,

versus

TOMMY G. THOMPSON, Secretary, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services,

Defendant - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Greenbelt. Alexander Williams, Jr., District Judge. (CA-03-2084-8-AW)

Submitted: December 17, 2004 Decided: January 10, 2005

Before NIEMEYER and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

William J. Howard, HOWARD AND MARCUS, Hyattsville, Maryland, for Appellant. Thomas M. DiBiagio, United States Attorney, Neil R. White, Assistant United States Attorney, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Geraldine J. Williams appeals the district court’s order

granting defendant’s motion to dismiss. We have reviewed the

record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for

the reasons stated by the district court. See Williams v.

Thompson, No. CA-03-2084-8-AW (D. Md. June 14, 2004). 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
