PER CURIAM:

     Martha Williams appeals (1) the order dated September 15,

1994, granting partial summary judgment to the Commonwealth of Vir-

ginia, and (2) the order dated October 18, 1994,* granting judgment
as a matter of law in the Commonwealth's favor.   Our review of the

record and the arguments of counsel disclose that the appeals are

without merit.    Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the

district court.   Williams v. Comm. of Virginia, Dep't of Social

Services, No. 3:93CV688 (E.D. Va. Sept. 15, 1994 & Aug. 21, 1995)

(memorandum opinions).

                                                          AFFIRMED

      *
        The district court initially entered an order granting
judgment as a matter of law on October 18, 1994, and noted therein
that a written opinion would follow. When the memorandum opinion
was issued on August 21, 1995, the court entered a "Final Order"
again granting judgment as a matter of law and dismissing the case.
