PER CURIAM:

            Norman L. Nichols, Jr., appeals the district court’s

order granting summary judgment for the Caroline County Board of

Education   on   Nichols’s   racial,   gender,   religion,   and   speech

discrimination action.       We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by

the district court.    See Nichols v. Caroline County Bd. of Educ.,

No. CA-02-3523-1-JFM (D. Md. Feb. 23, 2004). 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
