Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant appeals the magistrate judge's order* dismissing
this employment discrimination action because of Appellant's fraud

upon the court. We have reviewed the record and the opinion of the

magistrate judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we

affirm on the reasoning of the magistrate judge. Blansett v.

Iredell-Statesville Bd. Of Educ., No. CA-94-42-5-H (W.D.N.C. Mar.

7, 1996). 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




     *
       A magistrate judge conducted the proceedings in accordance
with 28 U.S.C. § 636(c)(l) (1994).
