See Local Rule 36(c).




PER CURIAM:

     Roger L. Sanford appeals the district court’s order accepting

the recommendation of the magistrate judge and awarding summary

judgment to the Defendant on Sanford’s Title VII discrimination

complaint.    We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

error.   Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district

court.   See Sanford v. Principi, No. CA-00-502-3 (S.D.W. Va. Sept.

26, 2002).    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
