PER CURIAM:

           Jerry A. Hurst appeals from the district court’s orders

dismissing his complaint as filed beyond the limitations periods

and   on   res   judicata   grounds,   and    denying   his    motion      for

reconsideration.      We    have   reviewed   the   record    and   find   no

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

the district court.    See Hurst v. Northrop Grumman Corp., No. CA-

04-1205-1 (E.D. Va. Aug. 17, 2005 & filed Sept. 15, 2005; entered

Sept. 16, 2005).    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
