PER CURIAM:

     Jerry C. Scott appeals from the district court’s order grant-

ing summary judgment in his former employer’s favor in this action

alleging discrimination based upon disability, in violation of the

Rehabilitation Act, 29 U.S.C.A. §§ 701-796 (West 1999 & Supp.

2001). We have reviewed the parties’ briefs, the joint and supple-

mental appendices, and the district court’s opinion and find no

reversible error.   Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the

district court.     Scott v. Veneman, No. CA-99-161-4-H (E.D.N.C.

May 24, 2001).    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
