Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Lynard   G.   Williams   appeals   the   magistrate   judge’s   order

granting summary judgment to his employer and dismissing his

employment discrimination action.       We have reviewed the record and

the magistrate judge’s opinion and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the magistrate judge.*

See Williams v. PPG Indus., Inc., No. CA-01-459 (M.D.N.C. July 17,

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.




                                                                AFFIRMED




     *
       The parties consented to the jurisdiction of the magistrate
judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (2000).
