PER CURIAM:

     Orville Lewis, Jr., appeals the district court’s order grant-

ing summary judgment to Defendant in this action alleging age

discrimination in employment.   We have reviewed the record and the

district court’s opinion and find no reversible error.      Accord-

ingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.   See Lewis

v. Cohen, No. CA-98-1610-A (E.D. Va. Apr. 28, 1999).   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
