PER CURIAM: 

Nidelka Benson appeals the district court’s order

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and granting

Defendants’ motions to dismiss her complaint brought under the Fair

Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C.A. §§ 201-219 (“FLSA”) (West 1998 &

Supp. 2007). We have reviewed the record and find Benson’s

claims, filed more than three years after their accrual, barred by

the FLSA’s statute of limitations. See 29 U.S.C. § 255(a) (1998).

We further find the district court did not abuse its discretion in

refusing to equitably toll the statute of limitations. We

therefore affirm the district court’s dismissal of Benson’s

complaint on this ground. We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately addressed in the

materials before the court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.

AFFIRMED
