PER CURIAM:

          Ronald I. Nance appeals from the district court’s order

awarding summary judgment to the Postal Service on his employment

discrimination complaint.   Our review of the record, the parties’

briefs, and the district court’s opinion discloses no reversible

error.   The doctrine of res judicata bars the only claim Nance

advances on appeal -- a claim of Rehabilitation Act discrimination.

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

Nance v. Potter, No. CA-01-1083-1 (M.D.N.C. Oct. 1, 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
