PER CURIAM:

             Randolph S. Koch appeals the district court’s order

dismissing     this   employment    discrimination   action   pursuant   to

Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6).          We have reviewed the record and find

no reversible error.        Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons

stated by the district court.         Koch v. U.S. Merit Sys. Prot. Bd.

No. 8:12-cv-01590-DKC (D. Md. Aug. 2, 2013).           We grant leave to

proceed   in    forma   pauperis    and   dispense   with   oral   argument

because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented

in the materials before this court and argument would not aid

the decisional process.

                                                                   AFFIRMED
