PER CURIAM:

              Gene   M.    Munson    appeals     the     district    court’s    order

granting      summary     judgment   in    favor    of    the   Appellees      in   his

employment discrimination action.               We have reviewed the record and

find no reversible error.           Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning

of the district court.           See Munson v. Evans, No. CA-04-181 (E.D.

Va. Sept. 27, 2004).            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
