Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Rita Cole appeals the district court’s order granting the

Defendant’s Fed. R. Civ. P. 56 motion for summary judgment in this

diversity action. We review a grant of summary judgment de novo.

See Higgins v. E. I. DuPont de Nemours & Co.,

863 F.2d 1162, 1167

(4th Cir. 1988). A motion for summary judgment may be granted if

“there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and . . . the

moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law.” Fed.

R. Civ. P. 56(c). We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the

district court. See Cole v. Food Lion, LLC, No. CA-04-653-2 (E.D.

Va. May 26, 2005). 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.
