PER CURIAM:

     John Metts, proceeding pro se, filed a suit claiming that he

was denied a reasonable accomodation of his disability in violation

of the Americans with Disabilities Act. We have carefully reviewed

the district court’s order dismissing the case, as well as the

record and the informal briefs of the parties,* and we find no re-

versible error.   Accordingly, we affirm.   See Davis v. North Caro-

lina Dep’t of Corrections, 48 F.3d 134, 138 (4th Cir. 1995).     We

dispense with oral argument, because the facts and legal conten-

tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court

and argument would not aid the decisional process.




                                                           AFFIRMED




     *
        We grant the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s
motion to file a brief out of time and deny Appellee’s motion to
strike.
