PER CURIAM: Rosalie A. Smith appeals the district court’s order dismissing her civil action. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Smith v. Metropolitan Life Ins. Co., No. CA-99-26-3-V (W.D.N.C. Sept. 5, 2001). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are ade- quately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. AFFIRMED 2
