PER CURIAM:

     Timothy S. Brandon and William L. Dew appeal the magistrate

judge’s order denying relief on their employment discrimination

action.   We have reviewed the record and the magistrate judge’s

opinion and find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we affirm the

judgment of the magistrate judge.* See Brandon v. City of Richmond,

No. CA-00-874-3 (E.D. Va. Oct. 25, 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




     *
       The parties consented to the jurisdiction of the magistrate
judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (2000).
