See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order granting summary

judgment in favor of Defendant in his employment discrimination

action. We have reviewed the record and the district court's opin-

ion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the

reasoning of the district court. Buck v. State Highway Admin., No.
CA-96-2632-S (D. Md. July 14, 1997). 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 deci-
sional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
