UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 13-1977

SANDRA WILLIAMS,

Plaintiff - Appellant,

v.

BOARD OF EDUCATION OF PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY,

Defendant - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Greenbelt. Peter J. Messitte, Senior District Judge. (8:11-cv-01231-PJM)

Submitted: January 23, 2014 Decided: February 19, 2014

Before SHEDD, DAVIS, and DIAZ, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Sandra Williams, Appellant Pro Se. Robert Judah Baror, Linda Hitt Thatcher, THATCHER LAW FIRM, Greenbelt, Maryland, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Sandra Williams appeals the district court’s order

granting summary judgment to the Defendant in Williams’

employment discrimination action. We have reviewed the record

and find no reversible error. ∗ Accordingly, we affirm the final

judgment for the reasons stated by the district court at the

hearing held on July 2, 2013. Williams v. Bd. of Educ. of

Prince George’s Cnty., No. 8:11-cv-01231-PJM (D. Md. July 3,

2013). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and

legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials

before this court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.

AFFIRMED

∗ In addition to challenging the district court’s rejection of her claims on the merits, Williams also asserts that the district court’s order should be vacated because her counsel was ineffective. However, a litigant in a civil action has no constitutional or statutory right to effective assistance of counsel. Sanchez v. U.S. Postal Serv.,

(5th Cir. 1986); see Pitts v. Shinseki,

(Fed. Cir. 2012) (collecting cases recognizing rule), cert. denied,

(2013).
