Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Buster E. Tiffany appeals the district court’s order dismiss-

ing his civil action challenging an unfavorable decision of the

Army Decorations Board.   We have reviewed the record and the dis-

trict court’s opinion and find no reversible error.   Accordingly,

we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.   See Tiffany v.

Caldera, No. CA-99-663-3 (E.D. Va. Mar. 15, 2000).     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
