E.D.Va.
AFFIRMED.
Before K.K. HALL, PHILLIPS and SPROUSE, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:

1
Lita M. Ford appeals the district court's decision that she did not establish a prima facie case of race or national origin discrimination in this action brought pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Secs. 2000e et seq.    The district court further found that, even if Ford had established a prima facie case, her employer, Joyce International, had articulated a legitimate business reason for including Ford among the employees it laid off in its decision to reduce its workforce.

2
After a de novo review of the record, we affirm the findings of the district court.  As the record and other materials before us indicate that it would not significantly aid the decisional process, we dispense with oral argument.

AFFIRMED
