PER CURIAM:

     David W. Noble, Jr. appeals the district court’s order enter-

ing summary judgment in his civil action against his employer, the

United States Postal Service, for breach of the employer’s collec-

tive bargaining agreement with the union, and against his union,

for breach of its duty of fair representation of employees. 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. Noble v. United States Postal Service, Nos. CA-95-

2616-K; CA-96-2398-K (D. Md. July 14, 1997). Further, we deny

Noble’s motions to supplement the record on appeal. 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
