PER CURIAM:
Ruth C. Alexander appeals an order of the district court ac-
cepting the report and recommendation of the magistrate judge and
granting summary judgment to her former employer HealthSouth Reha-
bilitation Center, Inc., in Alexander’s suit alleging she was dis-
charged from employment because of her race, in violation of 42
U.S.C. § 1981 and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42
U.S.C. § 2000e. We have reviewed the record and considered the
arguments presented in the parties’ briefs and affirm the judgment
for the reasons stated by the district court and the magistrate
judge. See Alexander v. HealthSouth Rehabilitation Ctr., Inc., No.
CA-97-981-4-22 (D.S.C., May 6, 1998). We grant Appellee’s motion
to waive 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
