PER CURIAM:

          Rayfield A. Ward appeals the district court’s orders

dismissing his civil action against Defendants.   We have reviewed

the record and find no reversible error.    Accordingly, we affirm

for the reasons stated by the district court.     Ward v. Norfolk

Shipbuilding & Drydock Corp., No. 2:05-cv-00412-RBS (E.D. Va.

Sept. 30, 2005 & Feb. 23, 2006).   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
