PER CURIAM:

Ada Irene Dawson appeals the district court’s order 

granting summary judgment for the United States of America, 

Louis Joseph Freeh, Former Director of the Federal Bureau of 

Investigation, and Robert S. Muller, Director of the Federal 

Bureau of Investigation, on her complaint alleging race 

discrimination, hostile work environment, and retaliation under 

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 

§§ 2000e to 2000e-17 (“Title VII”). After conducting de novo

review of the district court's grant of summary judgment, see

Nader v. Blair, 549 F.3d 953, 958 (4th Cir. 2008), we find no 

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court's 

order. See Dawson v. United States of America, No. 3:05-2308-

CMC-JRM (D.S.C. filed March 6, 2008). Because the facts and 

legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials 

before the court, we find that further argument would not aid 

the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
