PER CURIAM:

       Jennifer C. Lawrence appeals the district court’s order granting summary judgment

to Wal-Mart in Lawrence’s tort action arising out of a fall in the store. We have reviewed

the parties’ briefs and the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for

the reasons stated by the district court at the December 15, 2020, hearing on the motion for

summary judgment. Lawrence v. Wal-Mart Stores E., L.P., No. 1:20-cv-00130-LMB-

MSN (E.D. Va. filed Dec. 15, 2020 & entered Dec. 16, 2020). We dispense with oral

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials

before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

                                                                               AFFIRMED
