Bridget Allen, Appellant Pro Se. Michael Andrew Viccora, SEYFARTH SHAW, Washington, D.C., for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c).

- 2 - PER CURIAM:

Bridget Allen appeals the district court’s order granting

the Defendant’s motion to dismiss her civil rights and employment

discrimination action filed under

, 1985, 1986

(2000). We have reviewed the record and conclude the district

court did not abuse its discretion or discriminate when it

dismissed Allen’s complaint before holding a pre-trial conference

under Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(a). 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 in the

decisional process.

AFFIRMED
