PER CURIAM

     Frantz Claude appeals from the order of the district court

dismissing his complaint against Northwest Airlines, Inc. (“North-

west”). We have reviewed the briefs and materials submitted in the

appendices and find that each count contained in Claude’s complaint

was properly subject to summary judgment.   Accordingly, we affirm

the order dismissing Claude’s complaint against Northwest on the

reasoning of the district court. Claude v. Northwest Airlines, No.

CA-98-107-7 (E.D. Va. Feb. 7, 2000).   We dispense with oral argu-

ment because the facts and legal contentions are adequately pre-

sented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid

the decisional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
