PER CURIAM:

     Donald Ray Gilbert appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his claims of violation of the Americans with Dis-

abilities Act, 42 U.S.C.A. §§ 12101-12213 (West 1995 & Supp. 2000),

and intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress. 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. Gilbert v. Cooper Indus., Inc., No. CA-99-441-

5-H (E.D.N.C. Sept. 5, 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
