PER CURIAM: Diana K. Livingston appeals a district court's order granting summary judgment to her employer on her retaliation claim under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This

court reviews a district court's order granting summary judgment de novo, drawing reasonable inferences in the light most

favorable to the non-moving party.

See Hooven-Lewis v. Caldera, Summary judgment may be

249 F.3d 259, 265 (4th Cir. 2001).

granted only when "there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and [movant] is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law." Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(c); see Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 322 (1986). We have thoroughly reviewed the parties' briefs, the joint and supplemental appendices, and the district court's

opinion, and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm Livingston v. We

for the reasons stated by the district court.

Gen. Elec. Co., No. 1:05-cv-03401-WDQ (D. Md. May 7, 2008). 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
