PER CURIAM:

     Robert E. Fener appeals the district court’s order granting

summary judgment for the Defendants in Fener’s action challenging

a decision of the United States Forest Service to implement a tim-

ber sale in the George Washington National Forest. 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. Fener v. Hunt, No. CA-97-24-L (W.D. Va. June 24, 1997). 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
