Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant appeals the district court's order granting summary

judgment to the Defendant on his employment discrimination action.

We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinions and

find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning

of the district court. Cosely v. E. I. DuPont De Nemours and Co.,
Inc., No. CA-96-1022-3 (E.D. Va. July 24, 1997). 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
