Before MICHAEL, KING, and SHEDD, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Bertha L. Cummings, Appellant Pro Se. Ronald Nicholas Regnery, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Bertha L. Cummings appeals the district court’s order

granting Defendants’ motion to dismiss her sexual harassment and

retaliation claims, in violation of Title VII of the Civil

Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e to 2000e-17

(2000), and the Virginia Human Rights Act, Va. Code Ann. §§ 2.2-

3900 to 2.2-3902 (2008), as well as her state law tort claims.

We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we deny Cummings’ motion for appointment of counsel

and affirm the district court’s order. See Cummings v. Moore,

No. 3:08-cv-00579-JRS (E.D. Va. Jan. 26, 2009). We dispense

with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are

adequately presented in the materials before the court and

argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
