PER CURIAM:

     Rex B. Lantz, Jr., appeals from the district court’s order

granting the Defendant summary judgment and denying Lantz’s motion

to amend the judgment.   We have reviewed the record and the dis-

trict court’s opinion and find no reversible error.   Accordingly,

we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.         Lantz v.

Fischer, No. CA-00-24-2 (W.D. Va. Jan. 29, 2001). We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
