See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Lawrence Suid appeals the district court’s order granting sum-

mary judgment in favor of the Defendant in his employment discrim-

ination action.   We have reviewed the record and the district

court’s opinion and find no reversible error.    Accordingly, we af-

firm on the reasoning of the district court.    See Suid v. Secretary

of Navy, No. CA-98-170-A (E.D. Va. Sept. 23, 1998).      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
