See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's orders dismissing his

employment discrimination action and denying reconsideration of the

dismissal. We have reviewed the record and the district court's

opinions and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on

the reasoning of the district court. Staves v. Peters, No. CA-95-
1038-R (E.D. Va. Mar. 12 & 20, 1996). We dispense with oral argu-

ment because the facts and legal contentions are adequately pre-

sented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid
the decisional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
