PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order granting summary

judgment in favor of Defendant in his employment discrimination

action. We have reviewed the record and the district court's opin-

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

reasoning of the district court. Colbert v. Inova Health Care,
No. CA-96-1695-A (E.D. Va. July 15, 1997). 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
