PER CURIAM:

          Gene H. Rhodes appeals from the district court’s order

granting summary judgment in favor of his former employer on his

complaint alleging age discrimination. We have reviewed the record

included on appeal and the parties’ briefs and have found no

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

the district court. See Rhodes v. Gutierrez, No. 1:06-cv-00711-TSE

(E.D. Va. filed May 11, 2007; entered May 16, 2007).   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
