PER CURIAM:

     Earl Brown appeals the district court’s order dismissing his

discrimination action without prejudice for failure to state a

claim.   We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opin-

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

reasoning of the district court.       See Brown v. Carolina Tire Co.,

No. CA-97-1359-1 (M.D.N.C. Apr. 9, 1999).       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
