PER CURIAM:
Julie A. Gaskins appeals the district court’s order dismissing her civil action as
barred by the doctrine of res judicata. Because we conclude that Gaskins’s action is barred
by the doctrine of collateral estoppel, see Collins v. Pond Creek Mining Co., 468 F.3d 213,
217 (4th Cir. 2006) (setting forth elements of collateral estoppel), we affirm the district
court’s dismissal order on that basis. 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
