See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Linval A. Blair appeals the district court’s order granting

summary judgment to his former employer and dismissing his em-

ployment discrimination complaint. We have reviewed the record and

the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accord-

ingly, we affirm substantially on the reasoning of the district

court.     See Blair v. Colonnas Shipyard, Inc., No. CA-98-1360-2

(E.D. Va. July 7, 1999).    We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
