Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order dismissing

his employment discrimination complaint. We have reviewed the rec-

ord and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Lear
v. Giant Foods Inc., No. CA-95-3691-JFM (D. Md. Mar. 26, 1996). 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.
