Edward C. Hill, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Edward John Martin, OFFICE
OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Alexandria, Virginia, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Edward C. Hill, Jr., appeals the district court’s order dis-

missing his action alleging employment discrimination.     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.     See Hill v. Cohen, No. CA-00-1373-A (E.D. Va.

Dec. 7, 2000).    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
