PER CURIAM:


Athilla Harris, who was terminated as an employee of Arlington County, Virginia, appeals an order of the district court granting summary judgment to the County and individual defendants on her claims (i) that she was discriminated against on the basis of race and disability in violation of 42 U.S.C. § 1981 and 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq. (Title VII) and the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. § 12112, and (ii) that she was denied due process protections (based on her assertion that she was a permanent employee of the County) in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution and 42 U.S.C. §§ 1981, 1983, 1985, and 1986. After consideration of the parties' briefs, the record, and the oral arguments of counsel, we conclude that the district court correctly granted summary judgment to the County and the other named defendants on each of Harris's claims. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Harris v. Arlington County, Virginia, No. 95-853-A (E.D. Va. Dec. 22, 1995).
