Before HALL, NIEMEYER, and LUTTIG, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

1

Martha Williams appeals (1) the order dated September 15, 1994, granting partial summary judgment to the Commonwealth of Virginia, and (2) the order dated October 18, 1994,* granting judgment as a matter of law in the Commonwealth's favor. Our review of the record and the arguments of counsel disclose that the appeals are without merit. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Williams v. Comm. of Virginia, Dep't of Social Services, No. 3:93CV688 (E.D. Va. Sept. 15, 1994 & Aug. 21, 1995) (memorandum opinions).

2

AFFIRMED.

*

The district court initially entered an order granting judgment as a matter of law on October 18, 1994, and noted therein that a written opinion would follow. When the memorandum opinion was issued on August 21, 1995, the court entered a "Final Order" again granting judgment as a matter of law and dismissing the case
