PER CURIAM:

      Samuel Blackburn appeals from the district court’s orders

granting summary judgment for the Defendants on his employment dis-

crimination complaint and denying his motion for reconsideration.

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.        Blackburn v. Ashcroft, No. CA-00-1522-A

(E.D. Va. Mar. 6, 2001 & filed June 7, 2001; entered June 8, 2001).

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
