PER CURIAM:

     Bell Atlantic—Virginia, Inc., appeals the district court’s

order denying its motion to dismiss Randall Steven Rogers’ com-

plaint alleging a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

See 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b) (1994).       We have reviewed the record and

the district court’s reasoning stated in open court and find no re-

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

district court.   See Rogers v. Bell Atlantic—Virginia, Inc., No.

CA-99-1445-A (E.D. Va. Mar. 14, 2000); see also Puryear v. County

of Roanoke, 214 F.3d 514 (4th Cir. 2000).       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.
