Michael H. Bostron, Appellant Pro Se. Larry David Adams, Assistant
United States Attorney, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).




PER CURIAM:

     Michael H. Bostron appeals the district court’s order granting

judgment as a matter of law to the Commissioner in Bostron’s civil

action in which he alleged employment discrimination claims.    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. See Bostron v. Apfel, No. CA-97-3154-H (D. Md.

July 19, 2000).   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
