PER CURIAM:

      Esther Mullins appeals the district court’s order granting

summary judgment to Defendants in this action alleging breach of

the duty of fair representation, breach of a collective bargaining

agreement, defamation, and wrongful termination.           We have reviewed

the record and find no reversible error.            Accordingly, we affirm

for the reasons stated by the district court.               See Mullins v.

International Union of Operating Eng’rs., No. CA-01-1465 (E.D. Va.

Aug. 8, 2002).    We grant the motion to file a supplemental appendix

and   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
