PER CURIAM:

     Eligio V. Sanchez appeals from the district court’s order

granting summary judgment in his employment discrimination suit.

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. Sanchez v. City of Clinton, No. CA-99-78-7-

F (E.D.N.C. June 7, 2000).   We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.




                                                           AFFIRMED
