PER CURIAM:

       Raymond L. Edwards appeals from the district court’s order

granting summary judgment to the Defendant on Edwards’ employment

discrimination and related state law claims.                  Our review of the

record   included    on   appeal,   as    well   as    the    parties’   briefs,

discloses no reversible error.            Accordingly, we affirm on the

reasoning of the district court.            Edwards v. Whitman Requardt &

Assoc., No. CA-00-1834-S (D. Md. Jan. 24, 2001).               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
