PER CURIAM:

     Morris Wilson Crabtree appeals the district court's order

granting summary judgment to Defendant in this employment dis-

crimination action. 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. Crabtree v. BHK of
America, No. CA-95-45-D (W.D. Va. Sept. 17, 1996). We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.
