PER CURIAM:

          Carl Keith Kistner appeals the district court’s order

granting summary judgment in favor of the Defendant in his Title

VII action.   We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

error.   Accordingly, we affirm substantially on the reasoning of

the district court.*   See Kistner v. Permatile Concrete Prods., No.

CA-03-74-3 (W.D. Va. May 26, 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




     *
      While we note the district court’s citation to the “pretext
plus” standard that has been overruled in Reeves v. Sanderson
Plumbing Prods., Inc., 530 U.S. 133, 146-49 (2000), we find no
harmful error in this case as the evidence was insufficient to
establish pretext even under Reeves, and because the issue was not
raised on appeal and is therefore waived. See Canady v. Crestar
Mortgage Corp., 109 F.3d 969, 973-74 (4th Cir. 1997).
