Lois B. Chandler, Appellant Pro Se. David C. Burton, Sean Michael
Gibbons, Steven David Brown, WILLIAMS, MULLEN, CLARK &
DOBBINS, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.

Local Rule 36(c).

                             OPINION

PER CURIAM:

   Lois B. Chandler appeals the district court’s order granting sum-
mary judgment to Casual Corner in her employment discrimination
action. Claims submitted to this court on appeal from the district
court’s grant of summary judgment are subject to de novo review. See
Mitchell v. Data General Corp., 12 F.3d 1310, 1313 (4th Cir. 1993).

   Chandler first claims that Casual Corner’s failure to promote her
to the position of store manager was an adverse employment action.
The district court, however, properly found no adverse action because
it was undisputed that Chandler never applied for the position. See
Shackleford v. Deloitte & Touche, LLP, 190 F.3d 398, 400 (5th Cir.
1999).

   Chandler’s second cause of action alleged Casual Corner acted
adversely in withholding quarterly bonuses. The employer asserted
legitimate reasons in conformance with their written disciplinary pol-
icy for the actions it undertook, and Chandler offered no evidence that
the actions taken were pretextual. See Taylor v. Virginia Union Uni-
versity, 193 F.3d 219, 230 (4th Cir. 1999).

   Accordingly, we find no reversible error and affirm the judgment
of the district court. We dispense with oral argument because the facts
                 CHANDLER v. CASUAL CORNER GROUP                    3
and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before
the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
