See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Norman L. Nichols, Jr., appeals the district court’s order

granting summary judgment to Defendant on Nichols’ claim of racial

discrimination.   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. Nichols v. Caroline

County Bd. of Educ., No. CA-99-3352-H (D. Md. Nov. 28, 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
