PER CURIAM:

              Jeffrey D. Gregory appeals the district court’s order

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and dismissing

his employment discrimination complaint based on his lack of

standing to pursue this action, which—due to his filing of a

petition in bankruptcy—belongs to his bankruptcy estate.                          See

Detrick v. Panalpina, Inc., 108 F.3d 529, 536 (4th Cir. 1997).                     We

have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.                      We note,

however, that while Gregory does have standing to pursue his claim

that   he    was   required   to    wear     a    training    badge   in    February

2007—after the date of the filing of his bankruptcy petition—he

cannot state a claim on which relief could be granted on this

issue.      See Harris v. Forklift Sys. Inc., 510 U.S. 17, 21 (1993).

Accordingly, we affirm substantially for the reasons stated by the

district court.        Gregory v. Potter, No. 1:07-cv-00142-LHT-DLH

(W.D.N.C. Dec. 6, 2007).           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
