PER CURIAM:

     Mary Dew appeals the district court’s grant of summary judg-

ment to her employer, Nabisco, Incorporated (“Nabisco”). Dew filed

a complaint against Nabisco alleging that she was the victim of

disparate treatment and a hostile work environment because of her

gender.    The district court dismissed both claims.   In her appel-

late brief, Dew has failed to challenge the district court’s

dismissal of her disparate treatment claim. Thus, it is abandoned.

See Edwards v. City of Goldsboro, 178 F.3d 231, 241 n.6 (4th Cir.

1999).    We have reviewed the district court’s order and opinion

from the bench as to the hostile work environment claim and find no

reversible error. Thus, we affirm on the reasoning of the district

court.    See Dew v. Nabisco, Inc., No. CA-99-353-3 (E.D. Va. Feb. 8,

2000); see also Harris v. Forklift Sys., Inc. 510 U.S. 17, 21

(1993); Hartsell v. Duplex Prods., Inc., 123 F.3d 766, 772 (4th

Cir. 1997).    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 in the decisional process.
