    Stephanie R. THOMPSON, Plaintiff-Appellant,
    v.
    ELDERSBURG BUILDING SUPPLY COMPANY; William A.
    Logan,
    Defendants-Appellees.
    No. 90-1172.

    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


    Submitted Nov. 22, 1991.
    Decided Jan. 29, 1992.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland,
    at Baltimore. Frederic N. Smalkin, District Judge. (CA-89-3254-S)
    Stephanie R. Thompson, appellant pro se.
    Randolph Carl Knepper, Levin & Gann, P.A., Baltimore, Md., for
    appellee.
    D.Md.
    AFFIRMED.
    Before WIDENER, SPROUSE and NIEMEYER, Circuit Judges.
    OPINION
    PER CURIAM:

    Stephanie R. Thompson appeals from the district court's order granting

    judgment on the merits in favor of Defendants on her Title VII claim. Our
    review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is
    without merit. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.
    Thompson v. Eldersburg Building Supply Co., No. CA-89-3254-S (D.Md. Nov.
    29, 1990).* 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.

    On appeal, Thompson claims that her trial counsel was ineffective. There is no
    right to effective assistance of counsel in civil cases. See Sanchez v. United
    States Postal Serv., 785 F.2d 1236, 1237 (5th Cir.1986); Nicholson v. Rushen,
    767 F.2d 1426, 1427 (9th Cir.1985)
