PER CURIAM:

           Torina A. Collis filed a civil action alleging she was

terminated in violation of the whistleblower provisions of the

Sarbanes-Oxley      Act,   18   U.S.C.A.   § 1514A   (West   Supp.     2009).

Collis   appeals     the   district   court’s    order   granting      summary

judgment, for reasons stated from the bench, in favor of the

Defendant.     Accordingly, we affirm.          See Livingston v. Wyeth,

Inc., 

, 351 (4th Cir. 2008) (discussing elements

needed to establish a retaliation claim under the Act).                    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
