PER CURIAM:

     Rosario A. Fiorani, Jr. appeals the district court’s order

dismissing his civil action without prejudice for lack of subject

matter jurisdiction.   We have reviewed the record and the district

court’s order and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm

on the reasoning of the district court.   See Fiorani v. Ford Motor

Credit Co., No. CA-98-1712-A (E.D. Va. Jan. 11, 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.




                                                          AFFIRMED
