Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Derek    Maurice   Bethel   appeals   the   district    court’s   order

granting the Defendant’s motion for summary judgment and dismissing

his civil action alleging employment discrimination.               We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.           Accordingly, we

affirm on the reasoning of the district court.       See Bethel v. Civic

Dev. Group, No. CA-01-54-4 (W.D. Va. July 26, 2002).           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
