PER CURIAM:

            Welbon A. DeLon appeals the district court’s orders

accepting     the   recommendations   of   the    magistrate    judge   and

dismissing    his   employment   discrimination    complaint.      We   have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.        Accordingly, we

affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.           DeLon v. The

News & Observer Publishing, No. 1:05-cv-00259-WO-PTS (M.D.N.C. Jan.

22, 2008).     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
