PER CURIAM:

     Adnan Haider appeals the district court’s order dismissing his

civil action for failure to prosecute under Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b).

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 Haider v. Virginia State University,

No. CA-98-386-3 (E.D. Va. Mar. 8, 1999).     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.
