PER CURIAM:
     Appellant appeals the district court's order granting the

Defendants' motion to dismiss his complaint alleging age discrim-

ination in the making of a loan, because it was barred by the

applicable statute of limitations.* We have reviewed the record and
the district court's opinions and find no reversible error. Accord-

ingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Gillis v.
Crestar Bank, No. CA-97-455-R (W.D. Va. Nov. 6, 1997). 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




     *
       A two-year statute of limitations applies to Appellant's
claim. See 15 U.S.C.A. § 1691e(f) (West 1998).
