    v.
    NATIONAL HEALTHCARE OF SUMTER; CAROL BROWN,
    Defendants - Appellees,
    and
    BRENDA FLANAGAN; JEANIE S. CROTTS,

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of

    Submitted:    December 11, 2008              Decided:   December 15, 2008
    Before NIEMEYER, DUNCAN, and AGEE, Circuit Judges.
    Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    Kim L. Allen-Plowden, Appellant Pro Se.          Jeffrey Andrew Lehrer,
    FORD   &   HARRISON, LLP,   Spartanburg,         South   Carolina,  for
    Appellees.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    PER CURIAM:
    Kim      L.    Allen-Plowden         appeals     the      district          court’s
    order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and
    granting summary judgment in favor of her former employer and
    dismissing her complaint alleging employment discrimination and
    defamation.          This     court      reviews       a   district         court’s          order
    granting summary judgment de novo, drawing reasonable inferences
    in the light most favorable to the non-moving party.                                    Doe v.
    Kidd, 
    501 F.3d 348
    , 353 (4th Cir. 2007), cert. denied, 
    128 S. Ct. 1483
     (2008). Summary judgment is proper “if the pleadings,
    the     discovery      and     disclosure        materials       on        file,       and    any
    affidavits      show      that     there    is    no    genuine       issue       as    to    any
    material fact and that the movant is entitled to judgment as a
    matter of law.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(c); see Celotex Corp. v.
    Catrett, 
    477 U.S. 317
    , 322 (1986).                     We have reviewed the record
    and find no reversible error.                    Accordingly, we affirm for the
    reasons stated by the district court.                       Allen-Plowden v. Nat’l
    Healthcare      of   Sumter,       No.     3:07-cv-00420-JFA          (D.S.C.          June    4,
    2008).     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
