PER CURIAM:

Lisa Marie Kerr appeals from the district court’s order adopting the

recommendation of the magistrate judge and granting summary judgment to Defendants in

her civil action and ruling denying her motion for leave to file a supplemental affidavit

opposing Defendants’ summary judgment motions. Reviewing the district court’s grant of

summary judgment to Defendants de novo, Smith v. CSRA, 12 F.4th 396, 402 (4th Cir.

2021), and the court’s denial of Kerr’s motion for leave to file for abuse of discretion,

FDIC v. Cashion, 720 F.3d 169, 173-74 (4th Cir. 2013), we find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order and ruling. Kerr v. McKay, No. 2:20-cv-

00190 (S.D.W. Va. Mar. 31, 2022). 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.
