PER CURIAM:

     Asuquo E. Asanansi appeals the district court’s order granting

summary judgment to the Appellee on his race and national origin

discrimination claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of

1964, 42 U.S.C.A. §§ 2000e to 2000e-17 (West 1994 & Supp. 2002).

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.   See Asanansi v. Rite Aid Corp., No. CA-00-

1235-B (D. Md. Mar. 21, 2002).       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.
