PER CURIAM:

     Appellant Shamim Ahmed appeals the district court’s order

granting summary judgment in favor of the Appellees on his claims

of employment discrimination on the basis of race and national

origin.    We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

opinion and find no reversible error.    Accordingly, we affirm on

the district court’s reasoning that Ahmed failed to timely file a

charge of discrimination. See Ahmed v. Schnatter, No. CA-00-2160-S

(D. Md. Feb. 8, 2001).   We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
