PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order dismissing his

employment discrimination suit as untimely. We have reviewed the

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

reasoning of the district court. Hall v. Wella Corp., No. CA-96-933
(E.D. Va. Mar. 4, 1997). We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-

rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
