Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order dismissing

his claims under the Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organizations

Act, 18 U.S.C.A. §§ 1961-1968 (West 1984 & Supp. 1995), the Sherman

Antitrust Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 1-7 (1988), and the Equal Protection

Clause of the Fifth Amendment. We have reviewed the record and the
district court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly,

we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Binder v. Wash-
ington Gas, No. CA-95-319 (E.D. Va. Oct. 6, 1995). We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
