Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Edward E. Stroupe, Jr., appeals the district court’s order

dismissing his civil action.   We have reviewed the record and the

district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly,

we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.    See Stroupe v.

Radio Shack, No. CA-02-81-1 (W.D. Va. July 3, 2002). We deny

Stroupe’s “Motion for Waiver.”       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.
