Reginald D. Evans, Appellant Pro Se.      Barbara Murcier Bowens,
OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Columbia, South Carolina, for
Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Reginald D. Evans appeals the district court’s order setting

aside the jury’s verdict and granting Appellee’s Fed. R. Civ. P.

50(b) motion. 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.       See Evans v. Caldera, No. CA-97-

3732-3-17BC (D.S.C. Sept. 18, 2001). 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
