PER CURIAM:

           Geoffrey R. Akers appeals the district court’s order

granting   summary     judgment   in   favor   of     the   defendants     in   his

employment discrimination action.            We have reviewed the record

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

reasons stated by the district court.               Akers v. Gutierrez, No.

1:07-cv-01000-CMH-TCB (E.D. Va. filed July 30, 2008 & entered

Aug. 1, 2008).     We deny Akers’ motion for a copy of the record.

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
