Plaintiff - Appellant,

v.

BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION,

Defendant - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Greenbelt. Peter J. Messitte, Senior District Judge. (8:06-cv-01346-PJM)

Submitted: January 19, 2010 Decided: January 26, 2010

Before NIEMEYER, KING, and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Torina A. Collis, Appellant Pro Se. Elena D. Marcuss, MCGUIREWOODS, LLP, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Torina A. Collis filed a civil action alleging she was

terminated in violation of the whistleblower provisions of the

Sarbanes-Oxley Act, 18 U.S.C.A. § 1514A (West Supp. 2009).

Collis appeals the district court’s order granting summary

judgment, for reasons stated from the bench, in favor of the

Defendant. Accordingly, we affirm. See Livingston v. Wyeth,

Inc.,

(4th Cir. 2008) (discussing elements

needed to establish a retaliation claim under the Act). 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
