Loria Ann Patterson appeals the district court’s order

accepting the magistrate judge’s recommendation to grant

Defendant’s motion for sanctions and dismiss her claims under the

Equal Pay Act. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district

court. Patterson v. Am. Kennel Club, No. CA-01-20-5-BR (E.D.N.C.

and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials

before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
