PER CURIAM:
Jennifer C. Lawrence appeals the district court’s order granting summary judgment
to Wal-Mart in Lawrence’s tort action arising out of a fall in the store. We have reviewed
the parties’ briefs and the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for
the reasons stated by the district court at the December 15, 2020, hearing on the motion for
summary judgment. Lawrence v. Wal-Mart Stores E., L.P., No. 1:20-cv-00130-LMB-
MSN (E.D. Va. filed Dec. 15, 2020 & entered Dec. 16, 2020). 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
