PER CURIAM:

     Donna M. Briggs appeals from the district court’s order

declining to hold Briggs in contempt of court for an alleged

violation of a protective order and refusing to award sanctions in

Briggs’ favor. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

opinion and find no reversible error.    Accordingly, we affirm on

the reasoning of the district court.    See Briggs v. City of Nor-

folk, Nos. CA-98-288-2; CA-99-83-2 (E.D. Va. Jan. 22, 2001).    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 the decisional process.

                                                          AFFIRMED
