PER CURIAM:

Donnise Batton appeals the district court’s order granting 

summary judgment to Defendants in this action filed pursuant to 

Section 301 of the Laobr Management Relations Act. We have 

reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, 

we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. 

Batton v. Commc’ns Workers of Am., No. 2:13-cv-00426-MSD-LRL 

(E.D. Va. Aug. 4, 2014). 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
