Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

          Norman L. Nichols, Jr., appeals the district court’s

orders granting the Caroline County Board of Education’s Fed. R.

Civ. P. 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss and denying Nichols’ motion to

reconsider, which the district court construed as a Fed. R. Civ. P.

59(e) motion to alter or amend, in this employment discrimination

case.   We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm both orders for the reasons stated by the

district court.   Nichols v. Caroline Cnty. Bd. of Education, No.

1:05-cv-02658-WDQ (D. Md. Jan. 6 and Feb. 24, 2006).   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
