Branch III, OGLETREE, DEAKINS, NASH, SMOAK & STEWART, P.C.,
Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

          Alvin R. Reed appeals the district court’s order granting

MCI’s motion to dismiss his claim of disparate impact based on age,

pursuant to the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, 29 U.S.C.

§§ 621-634 (2000) (ADEA).   We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by

the district court. See Reed v. MCI Worldcom Network Servs., Inc.,

No. CA-05-517-5 (E.D.N.C. Oct. 17, 2005).    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
