PER CURIAM: Mary Ann Nichols-Smith appeals the district court’s order denying relief on her 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e to 2000e-17 (2000) complaint. 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. See Nichols-Smith v. Branch Banking & Trust Co., No. CA-03-368-3 (W.D.N.C. Aug. 27, 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
