William N. Odom, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Terri Hearn Bailey, OFFICE
OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Columbia, South Carolina, for
Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

               William N. Odom, Jr., appeals the magistrate judge’s

order* granting summary judgment in favor of Odom’s employer on his

retaliation claims.         We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by

the district court.        See Odom v. Potter, No. CA-03-913-3 (D.S.C.

filed Dec. 17, 2004 & entered Dec. 20, 2004).               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




       *
      The parties consented to the jurisdiction of the magistrate
judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (2000).
