PER CURIAM:

     Emmanuel J. DeMesme, Jr. appeals the district court’s order

granting summary judgment to Montgomery County on DeMesme’s 42

U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1999) claim alleging due process vio-

lations and employment discrimination. We have reviewed the record

and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error.

DeMesme failed to present evidence to support his allegations that

Montgomery County violated his substantive due process rights. See

County of Sacramento v. Lewis, 523 U.S. 833 (1998).   DeMesme also

failed to present evidence to support a prima facie case of em-

ployment discrimination.   See St. Mary’s Honor Ctr. v. Hicks, 509

U.S. 502, 506 (1993).   We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-

rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.
