PER CURIAM:
Kristie Leanne Sluder appeals the district court’s order and judgment dismissing her
civil rights complaint. Having reviewed the record and finding no reversible error, we
affirm the decision of the district court. 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
