UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 03-2182 BRIDGET ALLEN, Plaintiff - Appellant, versus UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Defendant - Appellee, and LAURA BROWN; SUSAN FISHER; MASOOD MEMON; JOHN BREHM; TANVEER MALIK; FRANCINIA LITTLE; STEVE SHUPAK; AL ROUSE; MIKE FULKERSON, Defendants. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Alexandria. James C. Cacheris, Senior District Judge. (CA-03-701-A) Submitted: December 5, 2003 Decided: December 22, 2003 Before NIEMEYER, MOTZ, and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges. Affirmed in part and dismissed in part by unpublished per curiam opinion. Bridget Allen, Appellant Pro Se. Anita Claire Snyder, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Alexandria, Virginia, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: Bridget Allen appeals the magistrate judge’s order denying her motion to amend her complaint and the district court’s order dismissing, for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, her defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress claims. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. We dismiss Allen’s appeal of the denial of her motion to amend for failure to timely object to the magistrate judge’s order and for failure to file a transcript of the hearing on the matter. Furthermore, we affirm dismissal of Allen’s defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress claims for the reasons stated by the district court. See Allen v. United States, No. CA-03-701-A (E.D. Va. July 21, 2003). 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 IN PART; DISMISSED IN PART 2
