PER CURIAM:
Dr. Ning Shen appeals the district court’s order dismissing her action against the
Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Martinsburg, West Virginia. We have reviewed the
record, as well as the parties’ briefing in this matter, and find no reversible error. See
Hux v. City of Newport News, 451 F.3d 311, 315 (4th Cir. 2006) (a plaintiff’s failure to
demonstrate a genuine issue of material fact regarding pretext warrants summary
judgment). Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. 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
