See Local Rule 36(c).




PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order granting Defen-
dant's motion for summary judgment and denying counsel's motion for
leave to withdraw. We have reviewed the record and the district

court's opinion and find no reversible error.      Accordingly, we

affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Johnson v. United
Steelworkers, No. CA-96-216-B (W.D. Va. June 26, 1997). We dispense

with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are ade-

quately presented in the materials before the court and argument
would not aid the decisional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
