PER CURIAM:

             Emory Johnson, Jr., appeals the district court’s order

granting the Defendant’s Fed. R. Civ. P. 56 motion for summary

judgment in this employment discrimination and retaliation action.

We   have    reviewed   the   record    and    find   no    reversible    error.

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district

court.      Johnson v. Aluminum Co. of America, No. 1:03-cv-00980-NCT

(M.D.N.C. Oct. 26, 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
