See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Rosario A. Fiorani, Jr., appeals the district court’s order

denying his motion to remand and dismissing his action.    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 Fiorani v. Metcalf, No. CA-00-619-A (E.D. Va.

May 15, 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
