PER CURIAM:

            Ricardo C. Herring appeals the district court’s order

granting Defendant’s motion for summary judgment in Herring’s

action under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended.

We   have   reviewed   the   record   and   find   no   reversible   error.

Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See

Herring v. Thompson, CA-01-3824-8-AMD (D. Md. May 12, 2003).             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
