PER CURIAM:

            Sheree Mills appeals the district court’s orders granting

summary judgment to Defendant on her Title VII complaint and

denying her subsequent post-judgment motion for reconsideration.

On appeal, Mills argues that the court erred in denying relief on

her disparate treatment claim and in finding that she failed to

adequately allege a disparate impact claim.

            This court reviews de novo a district court’s order

granting summary judgment.    Moore Bros. v. Brown & Root, Inc., 207

F.3d 717, 722 (4th Cir. 2000).      Summary judgment is appropriate

only if, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the

non-moving party, there are no genuine issues of material fact in

dispute and the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of

law.     Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 255 (1986);

Evans v. Technologies Applications & Serv. Co., 80 F.3d 954, 958

(4th Cir. 1996).      In order to withstand a motion for summary

judgment, the non-moving party must produce competent evidence

sufficient to reveal the existence of a genuine issue of material

fact. Greensboro Prof’l Fire Fighters Ass’n v. City of Greensboro,

64 F.3d 962, 967 (4th Cir. 1995).

            We have reviewed the record, the parties’ briefs, and the

materials submitted in the joint appendix, and find no reversible

error.     Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s orders.    We

dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions

                                - 2 -
are adequately presented in the materials before the court and

argument would not aid the decisional process.

                                                      AFFIRMED

                              - 3 -
