PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order dismissing his

employment discrimination action. We have reviewed the record and

the district court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accord-

ingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Cheatham
v. Moore Regional Hosp., Inc., No. CA-96-20 (M.D.N.C. Mar. 12,

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.
