PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court’s order dismissing his

civil action under the Americans with Disabilities Act. We have

reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the

district court. Bartell v. Francis Marion University, No. CA-97-

3819-4-22 (D.S.C. Apr. 1, 1998). 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 deci-

sional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
