Virgil M. Lorenzo, Appellant Pro Se.    Kevin Jason Mikolashek,
OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Alexandria, Virginia, for
Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

           Virgil M. Lorenzo appeals the district court’s order

granting   Defendant’s   motion    to   dismiss   his   claims   of   race

discrimination and retaliation brought pursuant to Title VII of the

Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e to 2000e-

17 (2000), and his claim of age discrimination brought pursuant to

the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended, 29

U.S.C. §§ 621 to 634 (2000).      We have reviewed the record and find

no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated

by the district court.    See Lorenzo v. Gates,* No. 1:06-cv-00715-

TSE (E.D. Va. filed Oct. 18, 2006; entered Oct. 19, 2006).             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
