Sandra Williams, Appellant Pro Se. Robert Judah Baror, Linda
Hitt Thatcher, THATCHER LAW FIRM, Greenbelt, Maryland, for
Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Sandra Williams appeals the district court’s order
granting summary judgment to the Defendant in Williams’
employment discrimination action. We have reviewed the record
and find no reversible error. ∗ Accordingly, we affirm the final
judgment for the reasons stated by the district court at the
hearing held on July 2, 2013. Williams v. Bd. of Educ. of
Prince George’s Cnty., No. 8:11-cv-01231-PJM (D. Md. July 3,
2013). 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.
AFFIRMED
∗
In addition to challenging the district court’s rejection
of her claims on the merits, Williams also asserts that the
district court’s order should be vacated because her counsel was
ineffective. However, a litigant in a civil action has no
constitutional or statutory right to effective assistance of
counsel. Sanchez v. U.S. Postal Serv., 785 F.2d 1236, 1237 (5th
Cir. 1986); see Pitts v. Shinseki, 700 F.3d 1279, 1284-86 (Fed.
Cir. 2012) (collecting cases recognizing rule), cert. denied,
133 S. Ct. 2856 (2013).
