PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court’s order dismissing his

complaint alleging that he was the victim of defamation, harass-

ment, retaliation, denial of promotion, and wrongful termination by

his employer. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the

reasoning of the district court. Wilder v. Shalala, No. CA-97-2448-

S (D. Md. Aug. 14, 1997). We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
