PER CURIAM:

              Karl G. Byrd, Sr., appeals the district court’s order

granting      Defendants’      motion    for     summary    judgment   in    Byrd’s

employment discrimination action and denying Byrd’s motion for a

continuance and motion to strike materials submitted in support of

summary    judgment.        We    have   reviewed    the    record   and    find    no

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

district court.        See Byrd v. Baltimore Sun Co., No. CA-00-2677-JFM

(D. Md. Aug. 29, 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
