Terrell H. Dyches, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Terri Hearn Bailey,
OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Columbia, South Carolina, for
Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

              Terrell H. Dyches, Jr., appeals the district court’s

order awarding summary judgment to Defendant in his employment

discrimination action.         We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by

the district court.          See Dyches v. Abraham, No. CA-01-3818-1-23

(D.S.C. May 30, 2003).        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
