PER CURIAM:

     Shahed Farasat appeals the district court’s order granting

Defendants’ motions to dismiss and for summary judgment in his

action alleging employment discrimination in violation of 42 U.S.C.

§ 1981 (1994) and state law. 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. Farasat v.

Paulikas, No. CA-97-1488-H (D. Md. June 11, 1997; Jan. 6, 1998). 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
