PER CURIAM:

               Joseph Blackburn, Sr., appeals a district court judgment

dismissing his complaint as barred by the statute of limitations.

We have reviewed the record and the district court’s order and

affirm    for    the    reasons    cited   by    the   district    court.        See

Blackburn v. Hoechst Marion Roussel, Inc., No. CA-04-65-2 (N.D.W.

Va. Aug. 24, 2005).            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
