PER CURIAM:

              Lynn   Howard   appeals    the   district    court’s   order

dismissing his employment discrimination action.          We have reviewed

the record and find no reversible error.         Accordingly, we affirm

for the reasons stated by the district court.      See Howard v. United

States Army, No. CA-03-1368-1 (E.D. Va. filed June 7 & entered June

9, 2004).   We deny the motion filed by attorney George R. Royer to

appear on Howard’s behalf as counsel pro hac vice as moot.              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
