PER CURIAM:
Sheree Mills appeals the district court’s orders granting
summary judgment to Defendant on her Title VII complaint and
denying her subsequent post-judgment motion for reconsideration.
On appeal, Mills argues that the court erred in denying relief on
her disparate treatment claim and in finding that she failed to
adequately allege a disparate impact claim.
This court reviews de novo a district court’s order
granting summary judgment. Moore Bros. v. Brown & Root, Inc., 207
F.3d 717, 722 (4th Cir. 2000). Summary judgment is appropriate
only if, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the
non-moving party, there are no genuine issues of material fact in
dispute and the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of
law. Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 255 (1986);
Evans v. Technologies Applications & Serv. Co., 80 F.3d 954, 958
(4th Cir. 1996). In order to withstand a motion for summary
judgment, the non-moving party must produce competent evidence
sufficient to reveal the existence of a genuine issue of material
fact. Greensboro Prof’l Fire Fighters Ass’n v. City of Greensboro,
64 F.3d 962, 967 (4th Cir. 1995).
We have reviewed the record, the parties’ briefs, and the
materials submitted in the joint appendix, and find no reversible
error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s orders. We
dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions
- 2 -
are adequately presented in the materials before the court and
argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
