See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Charlotte Matthews appeals the district court’s order dis-
missing her employment discrimination complaint. We have reviewed
the record and the district court’s ruling from the bench and find
no reversible error. Matthews failed to show that her employer’s
legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason for offering the GS-13 con-
tract specialist positions to other candidates was “unworthy of
credence.” Reeves v. Sanderson Plumbing Prods., Inc., 530 U.S.
133, , 120 S. Ct. 2097, 2108 (2000). She further failed to show
that she suffered an adverse employment action as a result of
filing a charge of discrimination. See Boone v. Goldin, 178 F.3d
253, 256 (4th Cir. 1999). Accordingly, we affirm. 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
