PER CURIAM:

     Wanda Wright appeals from the district court’s order granting

Defendant Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.’s (“Wal-Mart”) motion for summary

judgment in Wright’s personal injury suit.     Finding no error, we

affirm.   Wright failed to come forth with evidence showing that

Wal-Mart was actually negligent or that it had actual or construc-

tive notice of the alleged substance on the floor of its store in

Norton, Virginia; thus, the district court properly granted summary

judgment in favor of Wal-Mart.       See Anderson v. Liberty Lobby,

Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 247-48 (1986); Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc. v.

Parker, 396 S.E.2d 649, 650 (Va. 1990).       We dispense with oral

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately set

forth in the materials before the court and argument would not aid

the decisional process.
