PER CURIAM:

           Thomas J. E. Soul appeals the district court’s order

granting   Defendant’s   motion   for    summary    judgment   on   Soul’s

employment discrimination action.       We have reviewed the record and

find no reversible error.     Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons

stated by the district court.     Soul v. Movado Retail Group, Inc.,

No. 1:07-cv-00365-GBL-BRP (Nov. 8, 2007).          Moreover, we find the

district court neither abused its discretion in ordering Soul to

pay Movado’s attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with Soul’s

failure to comply with discovery orders nor erred in declining to

provide Soul with court-appointed counsel.         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
