See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order granting summary

judgment to the Defendant in a suit alleging violations of the Fair

Labor Standards Act,1 and racial discrimination and retaliation
under Title VII of the Civil Right Act of 1964.2 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. Darrikhuma v. Southland Corp., No. CA-94-2724-AW (D. Md.
Jan. 27, 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 decisional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
