See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

           Christopher Simmler appeals the district court’s order

granting summary judgment to Defendants in this action alleging

wrongful discharge and assault and battery.    We have reviewed the

record and find no reversible error.    Accordingly, we affirm for

the reasons stated by the district court.     See Simmler v. Eckerd

Corp., No. CA-03-279-5-BR (E.D.N.C. Aug. 19, 2004 & Sept. 20,

2004).   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
