See Local Rule 36(c).




PER CURIAM:

     The plaintiff appeals the district court’s order granting the

defendant’s motion for summary judgment. 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. Colletti v. Macro International, No. CA-96-591-MJG (D. Md.

Nov. 13, 1996). We dispense with oral argument because the facts

and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials be-

fore the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.*




                                                          AFFIRMED




     *
      A new argument as to the timeliness of the plaintiff’s claim
was raised for the first time on appeal by amicus curiae. A
decision to reach a new issue on appeal is subject to our
discretion and is dependent on the circumstances of the individual
case. Singleton v. Wulff, 428 U.S. 106, 121 (1976). We decline to
consider this new argument because the factual basis for it was not
sufficiently developed in the record.
