Juan L. Steward, Appellant Pro Se. Leslie Robert Stellman, BLUM,
YUMKAS, MAILMAN, GUTMAN & DENICK, P.A., Baltimore, Maryland, for
Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant appeals the district court's orders granting the

Appellee summary judgment in this employment discrimination action.

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

find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Appellant's motion

for appointment of counsel and affirm on the reasoning of the dis-
trict court. Steward v. Gwaltney of Smithfield, Ltd., No. CA-95-
1158 (E.D. Va. June 20, 1996). 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
