See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the district court's orders granting

summary judgment to Defendants on his employment discrimination

complaint and denying his Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion. We have

reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no

abuse of discretion and no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm
on the reasoning of the district court. Rife v. Richmond Technical
Ctr., No. CA-94-909 (E.D. Va. May 3 & 23, 1995). We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.
