HENDON, CARSON, CROW & SAENGER, P.A., Asheville, North Carolina,
for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Jerry L. Bishop appeals the district court’s orders accepting

the recommendation of the magistrate judge and granting summary

judgment   to   the   Defendants   in   his   age   discrimination   and

retaliation suit and denying reconsideration of that order. We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.       Accordingly, we

affirm on the reasoning of the district court.           See Bishop v.

Peppertree Resorts, Ltd., No. CA-01-87-1-T (W.D.N.C. July 25, 2002;

Aug. 27, 2002).   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
