PER CURIAM:

     Dr. Marie Therese Assa’ad Faltas appeals the district court’s

orders granting summary judgment to Defendants and denying her

motion for reconsideration in this action alleging defamation,

tortious interference with an employment contract, intentional in-

fliction of emotional distress, fraud, and reckless endangerment.

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 Assa’ad Faltas v. State Newspaper, No.

CA-95-3324-3-17 (D.S.C. July 5, 1996). We deny Appellant’s motion

for reconsideration of the denial of her motion to file a supple-

mental informal brief. We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-

rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.
